Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and it's Diesel Gala time as class 25 visitor, D5217, arrives at Oxenhope with the 09.10 train from Keighley. 08/06/2014

The run round. 08/06/2014

At Keighley there was a shuttle service running to Ingrow (West) and back, hauled by a variety of shunting locomotives. This one is the railway's unique prototype D0226 "Vulcan" heading up bank out of Keighley. 08/06/2014

The railway has a turntable - a most valuable item on any heritage railway. 08/06/2014

Inside The Vintage Carriage Trust's display shed and what I assume to be the Waggon und Maschinenbau railbus, No. 79962 recently acquired by the Trust. The stock on display is incredible and well worth the visit. 08/06/2014

"Lord Mayor"

Mersey Docks & Harbour Board shunter No.32 on the Keighley-Ingrow shuttle. 08/06/2014

Haworth footbridge and the arrival of 37075 and D5830 in "double header" formation. The class 37 had just received a repaint into unbranded freight grey. 08/06/2014

After what appeared to be a fairly quiet start in the morning, by mid-day the crowds had picked up and most trains seemed to be reasonably well loaded. 08/06/2014

Haworth's Central Park - YUK! It's a RAILWAY station, we're not in America. 08/06/2014

After a stroll through the park it was time to see the famous "hill" or main street. See it, yes - climb it, no. 08/06/2014

Why is it allowed? 08/06/2014

Back on the railway and the two class 25's arrived with the 13.40 to Keighley. 08/06/2014
