You have to have this one for the set

I have bought this title as in my opinion, it should be place next to the original version.

It is worthy of the title. The fact it has Jenny Agutter as the Mother. In 'real time, it's as if the daughter has grown along with the time difference of the film dates.

You cannot beat the original, especially the finale where Roberta says "Daddy my Daddy" a line which still brings a lump to my throat when I see the film again.

I would like to add that I have a DVD titled The Railway Grandchildren. A title that is not listed on the IMDb? Could IMDb confirm or deny my findings through this format?
