Discover The Railway Children's Secret: The Worth Valley Railway In West Yorkshire

Рет қаралды 74,836

Күн бұрын

The Railway Children was filmed at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in West Yorkshire. We have travelled to West Yorkshire and Oakworth Station where we walk in the footsteps of the Railway Children, take a ride on the steam train and visit many of the filming locations in the 1970 film The Railway Children based on E Nesbit's book.
Even if you are not familiar with the book or the film, a ride on the steam train stopping at stations from the Edwardian period and hearing the chug of the train will surely take you back a few hundred years.
If you want to do the Railway Children walk visit www.railwaychildrenwalk.co.uk/
It was a wonderful start to our Yorkshire travel series where we will visit many of the wonderful places, towns and villages Yorkshire has to offer and find out more about other literary figures, like the Bronte sisters and James Herriot.

What a lovely video. I once watched a documentary about the volunteers who worked so hard to preserve this little gem of history. Some of them were cast as extras in the film playing station and railway staff. The station in the book was called by another name but they kept Oakworth for the film. The late great Bernard Cribbens made the character of Perks his own and made him memorable.

What a charming trip. I love all these little stations and the vibes of an ancient train trip. I was born in a village (in Poland) where there was a train line from our village to the nearest town, just twice a week and my mother used to take us to go shopping for clothes, toys, etc. Then it was like a big adventure. I remember to smell the air or put an ear to the rail to find out if the train was approaching. And suddenly there was this all noise it made when leaving from the forest. It was the present Kampinos National Park. The route still exists but as a tourist attraction.

I like the little German 4-wheeled Diesel railbus that they sometimes use for the first trains of the day. Interesting that the branch survived for several years after the closure, in 1955, of the branch from which it diverged, and that therefore the short section of line from Keighley station to she site of the branch Junction is in fact a small surviving part of the main line. I grow station on the branch used to be Ingrow West, and Ingrow East on the main line was a short distance away. Shortly before reaching Ingrow from the North it is still possible to see the remains of a bridge abutment which carried the main line.

Lived very near there until last year, it’s a lovely place and similar to lots of other places round there. Lots of attractions in that part of the world, go see Saltaire and the Shipley Glen Tramway plus the nearby Salts Mill.

Absolutely magical ..Superb filming you guy's never disappoint .. You've done Yorkshire proud ..My mum's brother's Teddy Rooke Ken Rooke,,Don Rooke ..Aunty Joan(Don's wife) and my cousin Mick Rooke their son all worked for the railway's ..I was very envious of my uncle Don living at several pretty railway cottage's over the course of his career being a rail clerk one of the job's perk's ..

Wow a real railway family, funny how in the past families followed the same careers. Not something you hear of much these days.glad you enjoyed the trip with us.

Did the journey in 1979 on my first trip back to the UK, and again in 2012 drove through the valley. Stunning scenery and beautiful railway. Hope to get back one day. Thanks for sharing

The train's chuffing slowly as it gets underway reminds me of a bear huffing, or a great beast straining to carry a load. I liked seeing the countryside go by as the train was at traveling speed. I just love old steam trains!

Loved it! You guys did a great job again on this video. Fantastic for non train fans and train fans like myself ❤ A great way to spend the morning here in California. We don’t have Beautiful countryside out here like you do. Just a gorgeous day to spend on a train 🚂 ❤. Thanks again for sharing. You guys take care Sir. 👍👍
