The Keighley & Worth Valley railway is probably one of the most spectacular days out I have had on the rails, you can tell they are geared up to cater for people from 1 to 100, and the mix of generations on the platforms show they are doing a fantastic job of appealing to everybody. You can get a rover ticket for £20 (price correct April 2022) and this allows you to go up and down the line as much as you want, most days they run a Diesel and a Steam loco, alternating so you get a fantastic mix of traction. Of course no day would be complete without a trip up Haworth high street or visiting Rail Story at Ingrow, not to mention the great facilities at the stations along the way.
