    Interesting footage with some good sound dubbing. So much railway heritage lost in those parts, but thanks to the KWVR for keeping a small part alive.

    Thank you for the compliment. The footage is taken from a Cinerail production DVD... Marsden Rail 31 "Yorkshire Byways", available from Videoscene.

    What a thoroughly enjoyable video of a place I have never visited. Nonetheless, with the traffic these days simply intolerable I can't help but think it was a shame so many lines were closed....Thank you for taking the time to post this video.

    Thanks for posting this video. The Bradford to Keighley line would have made a wonderful heritage railway. If only the planners had been blessed with a bit of foresight. The tourist revenue would have been a great boost to the area all along the line. It’s one line that I really wish I could have traveled.

    Fantastic video of days gone by. My dad told me hiw they played by the track on line to the city goods yard, they lived nearby in listerhills. Told me there were serious cuttings on the line with big drops. I now live on top of queensbury tunnel, the line wemt under our house about 20 yards up the road, albeit about 375ft below. The old boy who lives behind me has lived in his house 75 years, he showed me a photo of what was just fields at the time behind our houses, the only standout thing in the field the cap of the airshaft from Queensbury tunnel. All those fields full of houses now

    I was there in 1968 for the re opening of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. My father was the guard on the first train out of Keighley. Such a shame the GN line was closed.

    Great memorabilia video for us who lived near these lines,I can remember three trains in the Worth valley at the same time in 1955.An Halifax -Keighley passenger train passing a pick-up goods near Blea moor tunnel and a Keighley- Oxenhope train passing Damems station.

    Get the 3 Willowherb publishing books Great Northern Outpost by the late Jan Rapecz and Alan Whitaker of these lines in their death throes. Went to these tunnels etc with my late brother in 2000 after reading about them back in 1993 from an article in Steam days magazine “Over the mountain to Queensbury”. Like most closed railways it was never cut and dried how it closed. BR put the rates up for the remaining goods trains forcing traders to use the roads. The narrator does put the usual closure bias on it
