Road closures in Glasgow announced for BBC filming of The Primrose Railway Children adaptation

Dame Jacqueline was inspired by Edith Nesbit’s original 1905 novel to release The Primrose Railway Children in 2021. Her modern version will form a feature length, 90-minute long episode as part of new content coming to the CBBC and iPlayer.

Filmed is set to take place in and around Glasgow. The Primrose Railway Children follows Phoebe who lives with her older sister Becks, younger brother Perry and their mother in the city as they deal with her father’s disappearance. They then move to the remote Highlands of Scotland, where they have to get to grips with a different kind of world. Filming will take place this month in and around the Pollokshields area.
