The Rolling stock of the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is used on the preserved Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, a 5-mile-long (8 km) branch line that served mills and villages in the Worth Valley and is now a heritage railway line in West Yorkshire, England. It runs from Keighley[1] to Oxenhope.[2] It connects to the national rail network line at Keighley railway station.
During the 1970s, Polish steam was in decline while the British preservation movement was growing. No. 5820 was brought to Haworth in November 1977.[5]
45596 returned to steam for the first time in over 21 years in September 2018 following a Network Rail standard overhaul at Tyseley Locomotive Works. Following running in and its light and loaded test runs the engine returned to the KWVR in Feb 2019.[9][10] 45596 returned to the K&WVR on 19th Nov 2022 after spending the year away working railtours.[11]
No. 957 was privately purchased from BR in 1959 and moved to KWVR in 1965 where it became famous for its role in The Railway Children. It was withdrawn from service in 1975 in need of a major overhaul and spent a significant amount of time on display in Oxenhope museum. The major overhaul was eventually started and 957 returned to service in 2001 wearing BR Black livery as No. 52044 before reverting to its L&Y guise of 957 a couple of years later. It was mainly used on summer vintage trains and during special events as well as the occasional normal passenger service. Its boiler certificate expired on 20 January 2013. Following a couple of years on display at Oxenhope, 957 moved back to Haworth in July 2016 with an overhaul completed in 2021. Boiler ticket expires in 2030.[12]
No. 75078 was withdrawn in 1966,[14] but returned to service in February 2015 after more than 16 years out of traffic and then received a new ten-yearly boiler ticket in November 2022.[15]
Boiler ticket originally due to expire in 2017 but later extended to April 2018. However, in December 2017 due to cracks being found in its boiler tubes, the decision was made to withdraw the loco as it was decided carrying out the repairs would not be economical with so little time left of the boiler ticket. As of July 2018 the engine is now being stripped down for overhaul.[19]
No. 30072 was purchased by Andy Booth (the current owner of L&YR Class 27 no 1300) in August 2015 and is presently stored inside the Ribble Steam Railway's museum awaiting a space in the workshop for its overhaul to commence. Once its overhaul is completed at the RSR it is planned to return on loan to the railway.[21]
