The well-loved tale The Railway Children by E. Nesbit is brought to London by York Theatre Royal in an event that will transform Waterloo’s disused Eurotunnel terminal into a theatrical space. Theatre tickets are on sale now.

The audience will be placed under glass arches on Platform 24, on either side of the railway track, where the Stirling Single locomotive will stand at the centre of the site-specific show. The former Eurotunnel terminal will be transformed into exhibitions, bars and cafes in honour of the performance, which supports the Railway Children Charity for homeless children.

Marshall Lancaster, playing station master Mr Perks, has said that “the audience sit on high platforms as if they’re waiting for trains. They get the whole Victorian experience. They get their tickets stamped when they come in, there’s luggage everywhere. They should expect a high-paced, full Victorian experience. The way they’re building the set, they’ve got real trains coming in, it’s really quite something.”

Lancaster went on to say that “we are always upstaged by the steam trains, so we don’t worry about it! It is amazing; people just look forward to it arriving. There’s a steam effect and sound. Obviously it can’t be blazing or we’d all be on fire in the theatre. To think that the girl who plays Bobby – Sarah Quintrell – she’s got to stand in front of it and wave a petticoat as it stops! Very exciting.”

The Railway Children runs from July until September.
