    Any idea when we can expect a timetable? Can't seem to find one on the website.

    Superb gala, thanks to all at the KWVR. Shame about the 7F failure on Fri morning but operational again in the afternoon. 5820 subbing for 53808 on the 08.15 freight from Keighley on Friday morning..................................................

    Really good day on Friday at the gala shame about the 7F on the early morning freight but these things happen but always when it is good light sadly. A couple of shots from my visit many thanks to all those at the KWVR for a most enjoyable day and friendly welcome as per usual.

    A few shots from me from Friday. A fantastic morning turned into a disappointing afternoon for various reasons (through no fault of the KWVR, one might add!), so here are a few shots from the times when things were actually going ok... and those times happened to coincide with 70013's volcanic runs up the branch! kwvr.001.jpg kwvr.002.jpg kwvr.003.jpg kwvr.004.jpg

    Thanks to everyone at the KWVR who ran the event, and to everyone involved in Tuesday's photo charter with 70013 - I gather it was extremely difficult to put together and make work but I had a great day.

    James

    A couple more from the weekend. All in a very memorable KWVR gala. Congratulations to Kieran Pilsworth the gala organiser and all the other volunteers for putting o na really succesful event. It would be great if other railways could take note of an intensive timetable including goods trains keeps everyone happy on and off the trains. Not the best weather yesterday but this morning especially made up for that today.

    Here’s my video from the Saturday.
    All without a lineside pass, it’s not essential, although a donation was given at Keighley.

    Big thank you too all volunteers
