The Keighley and Worth Valley railway held a three day Winter Steam Gala on the weekend of Friday 13th to Sunday 15th February 2009. I went on the Friday to record the action, which included local and through passenger trains, and a goods train too.

The KWVR's regular fleet was out and about, and was joined by visiting BR Britannia 4-6-2 number 70013 Oliver Cromwell. Also included is a tour of Haworth loco workshops, Oxenhope Visitor Centre, and the carriage museum and the Bahamas Loco Society centre at Ingrow West.
