Experience the magic of A Christmas Carol, the beloved Christmas tale, brought to life on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. In this thrilling new interpretation, you will join Scrooge, Marley & Co. on their journey of self-reflection and discovery of the true meaning of Christmas in the beautiful surroundings of the Yorkshire moors. Various times.  

You’ll be able to ride behind the locomotives over the two days, with intensive passenger service running on the railway. Across the traction-packed days, there’ll be a goods train demonstration, special double-headed trains, and even a visiting locomotive, perhaps a type that we wouldn’t usually have for our Spring Steam Gala.

We will be running a diesel locomotive-hauled service throughout the day, featuring either our Class 37 or Class 14, when we will serve you the finest cask ales from our on-train bar, as you travel through the Bronte countryside.

On successive weekends in 2023, Vintage Trains will operate using a selection of our collection of historic older coaches, many of which date back to Victorian times and rarely see public use. These carriages form part of the Railway’s museum collection. Every weekend from 22nd July - 20th Aug.

Many visitors won’t remember steam traction, so the Diesel Gala brings back memories of these heritage machines that worked right from the end of steam up until recent memory – and in some cases, continue to do so!

The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway will host the locomotive throughout May and help celebrate the landmark birthday. There will be a whole host of events across the month, including ride the legend, special dining services, late-night running and plenty of photo opportunities.  Exact dates to confirmed.
