Virtual Railfan Tour UK - Keighly and Worth Valley Railway

We now travel to West Yorkshire

Keighley is well known for its excellent beers produced by the Timothy Taylor brewery. My favorite is Landlord

The other feature of Keighley is the five mile heritage railway line in the Worth valley to Oxenhope. The trains run from the main line station at Keighley. This picture taken at Keighley in 1982

I have visited the line twice - on 29 May 1982 and 15 September 2008 (with Brian and Gill)

Two pictures of Keighley station

Damens is reputed to be the smallest station in the UK

Oakworth is an interesting intermediate station
