The
Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is a delightfully restored 5-mile
branch line which joins the national railway network at Keighley in West
Yorkshire, north east of England and runs up the Worth Valley to Haworth
and Oxenhope.
Steam
train services operate every weekend throughout the year and daily in
summer. There are six superbly restored gas-lit stations, a fleet of steam
locomotives and historic carriages, a Museum of Rail Travel at Ingrow,
buffets at Keighley and Oxenhope - and even a CAMRA real ale bar on many
trains. There
are picnic areas at Keighley, Haworth and Oxenhope and many more quality
facilities for visitors.
The
KWVR and the station at Oakworth were used as the location for the classic
1970 film The Railway Children. Be sure to stop off or look out
at this delightful Edwardian gas-lit station.
Whether
you're travelling on the KWVR as a convenient rail link between the National
Rail network at Keighley and on to Haworth and Oxenhope or as an enjoyable
trip to the past on the country’s last remaining complete branch line
railway, we hope you enjoy your time at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.
