Keighley Railway Station

A Living Piece of Railway History

The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is one of Britain's most celebrated preserved railways, running steam and heritage diesel trains along a branch line that closed to British Rail services in 1962 and was reopened by volunteers in 1968. Keighley station, the line's northern terminus, sits alongside the main-line National Rail platforms in West Yorkshire.

Signal Box and Sidings

The view is anchored by a working mechanical signal box that still controls movements by hand, with sweeping curved sidings where vintage locomotives and carriages are shunted and stabled between services.

A Camera That Follows the Action

Rather than a single static frame, this camera automatically pans toward Ingrow West as trains approach, tracking departures and arrivals along one of the line's busiest stretches.

Made Famous on Screen

The wider Worth Valley line has starred in numerous films and television productions, including the classic The Railway Children, cementing its place as one of England's most photogenic heritage railways.
