It is intended that our carriages Brake 1474, 6-wheeler 1507 and newly-restored Club Carriage 47 are on public display in the Exhibition Shed on the Worth Valley at Oxenhope, but this is not always possible due to operational requirements of the Worth Valley. 

They are often used on Worth Valley special events, which are currently the Winter Steam Gala new 'Luxury Summer Saloons', the Railway Children Weekend and public service Vintage Trains on Summer Sundays.

Club Carriage 47 is scheduled to be included in public service trains on Saturday 28th April following its use for a private charter earlier in the day.  Public service will be from the 1315 departure from Keighley onwards.

Restoration of First Class 6-wheeler 279 is progressing with the chassis moving to an engineering works in Keighley to be shortened to match the body length. A new ‘First Class 279 fund’ has been launched, click here to make a donation or potentially sponsor part of the work.
