On Thursday 9th March I visited the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for their first day of their Steam Gala 2023. It was a very snowy wintry day but added to the atmosphere.

Brilliant photography, made more atmospheric with the snow and lifted the steam. I was there on Thursday and Sunday, Thurs was even more special as the afternoon the snow stopped and the sun came out adding the the effects. Everyone did an excellent job at the WVR, a memorable gala.

Reminds me of going on holiday when I was a child in the 50s and early 60s. We went from Leeds to Anglesey and from Bradford to Kings Cross, invariably by steam train. The Kings Cross service was the Yorkshire Pullman - getting the holiday off to a good start with lunch on the train Wonderful days.

I can tell you from experience it wasn't a bit romantic in the early 60s shoveling coal into a clapped out steamer all night. These engines must be a pleasure to drive and fire as they look in tip top condition. I did drive a class 31 named Keighley and Worth Valley Railway a couple of trips over this line on naming day. Anyone know if the nameplates survived?

Hello it was up and down the Keighley Worth Valley Railway in West Yorkshire. It starts just north of Bradford and runs further out into West Yorkshire. Shot along route at Oakworth, Oxenhope and some footage at Keighley.
