The Frau and I returned to Brontë country for the bank holiday weekend.
This time we spent the day hopping on and off the KWVR:
The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is a 5-mile-long (8 km)
heritage railway in the Worth Valley, West Yorkshire, England,
which runs from Keighley to Oxenhope.
There are six stations on the route and £21.60 gets you a "rover ticket"
which gives unlimited travel and free entry to the award-winning
‘Carriage Works’ and ‘Engine Shed’ Rail Story museums, both at Ingrow Station.
The line and its stations have been used in numerous period film
and television productions including the 'The Railway Children'.
They have a selection of vintage diesel and steam locomotives
as well as period carriages and general rail memorabilia.
Great day out if, like me. you are a railway enthusiast.
(I can't lay claim to the photos, just examples I found online)

Titus
Sounds like a great day/days. Im glad you have such a strong railway system. Here in the US not so much.
ReplyDeleteMy second wife is from Oklahoma.
DeleteShe had never been on a train before coming to the UK.
She wasn't used to bendy roads either :)
I live a few hundred yards from the railway. Glad you enjoyed! There's a diesel gala in a few weeks, and the steam gala will be back next year. Both highly recommended.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I went I was about 10 years old :)
DeleteGreat that it's still going.
