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.
