This is one of the most charming little movies I think I've ever seen. My mom suddenly remembered recently that she'd seen it and loved it, and for some reason really wanted me to see it as well. Charming was one of her words, and the movie totally takes that descriptor to heart.
A small town decides to take on the railway service to London after it's discontinued in the wake of the popularity of buses. Wacky hijinx ensue, with plenty of cheesy British rolling up of sleeves and blustery gumption. Cute and sweetly positive.
