KWVR prepares for reopening

AS THE Keighley & Worth

Valley Railway worked towards reopening and giving staff refresher trainings at the start of April, it gave the impression of a (non-public) mixed-traffic gala. Recently recommissioned ‘S160’ 2-8-0 No. 5820 was on steam-hauled test trains, while W&M railbus No. M79964 was on staff training shuttles between Damems and Keighley. Class 20 No. 20031 was in use on a short engineers’ train and is seen near Damems working from Keighley on April 2.
