Railtrail The Complete Collection 2018

Roses Battle By Steam & The Worth Valley At 50

At the end of June the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway celebrates its 50th anniversary with a once-in-a-generation week of festivities of steam and diesel, with locos of all sizes, plus a recreation of the line’s inaugural running in 1967. We thought we would celebrate with our own ‘battle of the roses’ tour, picking off Yorkshire and Lancashire steam and heritage railways every day from our base at an iconic railway hotel. With Railtrail opening the batting you are sure to come up smelling of roses!
