Remember when...<br />

summers were hot…<br />

mum’s picnics were the best…<br />

sweets were bigger…?<br />

Travel back in time on the<br />

<strong>Keighley</strong> & <strong>Worth</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Railway</strong>.<br />

Britain’s last remaining complete heritage<br />

branch line runs from <strong>Keighley</strong> to Oxenhope,<br />

along a rich seam of West Yorkshire’s rail and<br />

cultural heritage.<br />

Travel via Ingrow, with its award-winning Museum<br />

of Rail Travel, and Damems, the country’s smallest<br />

complete station (Ormston in BBC TV’s Born &<br />

Bred series) to Oakworth, the location for the<br />

classic 1970 The <strong>Railway</strong> Children film. Get off the<br />

train and stretch your legs on The <strong>Railway</strong> Children<br />

Walk linking film locations between Oxenhope,<br />

Haworth and Oakworth.<br />

Oakworth is a superb example of an Edwardian<br />

station, complete with authentic advertising signs,<br />

gas lighting and coal fires. From here ride on to<br />

Haworth, home of the famous Brontë Family.


The line terminates 660 feet above sea level<br />

at Oxenhope, where a collection of historic<br />

locomotives and coaches can be inspected in the<br />

Exhibition Shed.<br />

Have a chat with the Driver and watch the Fireman<br />

couple on and off the train. If you’re lucky he may<br />

even let you have a look on the engine’s footplate.<br />

Listen out for the Guard blowing his whistle as he<br />

waves his green flag, telling the Driver it’s time to<br />

go. Or just cosy up with a hot pasty or a warming<br />

coffee in the station buffet car and watch all the<br />

action go by.<br />

Here at the <strong>Keighley</strong> & <strong>Worth</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Railway</strong> there<br />

is more to do than at first meets the eye - we’re<br />

your route to a great day out for all the family. . .<br />

So much more<br />

than just a train ride.


Celebrate over 40 years since<br />

the fi lming of The <strong>Railway</strong> Children<br />

here, at the <strong>Keighley</strong> & <strong>Worth</strong><br />

<strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Railway</strong> – a place many<br />

refer to as “The <strong>Railway</strong> Children’s<br />

<strong>Railway</strong>.”<br />

Most of the fi lming took place in<br />

the local area with the main bulk<br />

taking place at Oakworth Station. Oakworth is still accessible<br />

by train and many <strong>Railway</strong> Children Walks lead to and from it.<br />

Why not ride down on the train and make your way back by<br />

foot? - Or even better buy a<br />

Day Rover ticket and take in the<br />

<strong>Railway</strong> as the Children did all<br />

those years ago.<br />

Make sure you get off the<br />

train and explore what Brontë<br />

Country has to offer!<br />

Ingrow Loco<br />

Ingrow Loco is the Museum and Workshop of<br />

the Bahamas Locomotive Society. It tells a story<br />

of the steam locomotive and the people involved<br />

in its manufacture, operation, and maintenance.<br />

FREE admission with a WVR Day Rover ticket.<br />

The Museum exhibition has been created so<br />

you can explore how the steam locomotive<br />

functions, and how it was built - from the<br />

drawing board to the workshop and even to the publicity<br />

photograph. You will also discover how the steam locomotive has<br />

fascinated generations of children and adults alike through playing<br />

with model railways and even the real thing!<br />

Ingrow Museum of Rail Travel<br />

The Museum of Rail Travel is the award-winning Museum<br />

of the Vintage Carriages Trust. It is home to a Collection of<br />

beautifully-restored historic railway carriages, which have been<br />

used in over 60 television programmes and fi lms. Visitors may<br />

sit in the carriages and be transported back in time by the<br />

sound presentations, which help to bring the past to life. There<br />

are video presentations, as well as numerous signs, posters and<br />

exhibits within the Museum to keep you lost in time for hours.<br />

FREE admission with a WVR Day Rover ticket.<br />

More information is available at www.vintagecarriagestrust.org<br />

and at www.bahamas45596.co.uk<br />

Would you like to become a volunteer on KWVR?<br />

We are very proud<br />

to say that we have<br />

operated and managed<br />

the <strong>Railway</strong> with qualifi ed<br />

volunteers since 1968,<br />

running Heritage trains<br />

every weekend and daily in<br />

school holidays. It takes up<br />

to 50 volunteers to run the <strong>Railway</strong> on every operating day:<br />

staff on the stations; the guards; the signalman; the footplate<br />

crew (Driver, Fireman and Cleaner); plus those on Civil<br />

Maintenance duties; the volunteers staffi ng and stocking the<br />

shops and buffets; and the administrative and engineering staff<br />

who you probably won’t even see during your visit.<br />

On the day, there is a Driver and Fireman, together they<br />

control the steam locomotive. There may also be a Diesel train<br />

in use, which also needs a Driver. Why not sit behind him and<br />

watch how he uses the controls along the line?


Each train also needs a Guard. You<br />

will see and hear them blowing their<br />

whistles and waving their green fl ags to<br />

the Driver telling him it is time to go,<br />

or maybe pressing the buzzer that also<br />

tells the Driver on the diesel trains it is<br />

time to go. There is much more to the<br />

job than that: the Guard is the one who<br />

is responsible for you and the safety of the<br />

train. The Guard travels in the Brake Van of<br />

passenger and freight trains and can always<br />

be a friendly face for advice on the day.<br />

Station staff are in charge of the safe<br />

operation of the stations - you will see<br />

(and hear!) the Station Foreman blowing<br />

his whistle to give the signal to the Guard<br />

that the train is ready to depart. They also<br />

sell tickets from the booking offi ces and<br />

on the train. They also operate the level<br />

crossing gates and signals at Oakworth<br />

and Damems. Many volunteers start in the<br />

Stations Department as an introduction to<br />

playing a wider role on the <strong>Railway</strong>.<br />

Behind the scenes is a whole team working<br />

on the maintenance of the <strong>Railway</strong>, from the<br />

track to the carriages you ride in, you may<br />

even see some of them on your visit. There<br />

is also the administrative side of the <strong>Railway</strong>:<br />

marketing and publicising the <strong>Railway</strong>;<br />

keeping the accounts; running the various<br />

committees that make up the Society; organising rosters<br />

to ensure that there are enough volunteers to operate the<br />

<strong>Railway</strong>; setting timetables; producing the <strong>Railway</strong>’s in-house<br />

magazine for members, Push and Pull; and much, much more…<br />

We are continuously looking for more volunteers. It takes a<br />

large number of people to run and operate the <strong>Railway</strong> on any<br />

given day.<br />

Could you do it?<br />

As a volunteer you would receive training in your role and<br />

enjoy the benefi ts of been a working volunteer - including<br />

FREE KWVR travel all year round and discounts on other<br />

<strong>Railway</strong>s. You also get to become part of a well respected band<br />

of people who have been striving for over 40 years to make<br />

the KWVR the very best heritage <strong>Railway</strong> in the Country.<br />

If you are interested please contact Sara North on<br />

07841 211952 or ring Haworth station on 01535 645214.

Take Care!<br />

We hope you enjoy your visit to the railway. Just to make sure you do, we would like to remind<br />

you of a few safety tips. Please be aware that this is a heritage railway which runs steam engines<br />

with old fashioned carriages. Special care should be taken when travelling:<br />

• You may get cinders or soot in your eyes if you lean out of the windows.<br />

• Never open the doors or touch the handles when the train is moving.<br />

• Keep your fi ngers away from all door hinges.<br />

• Always be careful when leaving the train - mind the gap when boarding and alighting!<br />

• Never sit on a platform edge!<br />

• Don’t stand too close to the edge of the platform and take special care not to let children<br />

fall between the platform and the train.<br />

• As with all railways, never walk on or near the track.<br />

By following these common-sense guidelines we are confident that you and your family<br />

will have a fun-fi lled and safe day out. If you need any special assistance just ask one of our<br />

members of staff. Thank you.
