Push & Pull

Autumn 2010

The Autumn issue of 'Push & Pull, is now available and includes all the latest news from Haworth.

There's advance notice of the Society Annual General Meeting and more details of the proposed management changes which will doubtless form a large part of the meeting.

David Pearson concludes his authoritative article on KWVR locomotives over the years, uncovering yet more fascinating details and photographs.

Chris Bates looks ahead to Autumn and reminds us that with the forthcoming Steam Gala, Beer & Music Festival, Santa Specials , Carol Service Train and more, we are now offering a year round attraction to our visitors.

Steve Harris reviews the successful Footplate Experience courses, and our own 'Old Gentleman' Chris Lawson describes the considerable 'Railway Children' activity both on the Railway and at the London stage show.

Shaun Whitehead describes the summer holiday to Llangollen enjoyed by our diesel railbus No. M79964, its first trip away from the railway.

There's a major feature on the essential repairs required to bridges 17 and 18 (between Haworth and Oakworth) and the fund raising efforts being organised.

All this plus a bumper bundle of Readers Letters, Trevor England's Inside Track, book reviews, Jim Shipley's look back to 20 and 40 years ago and a fascinating Then & Now which proves that connecting buses at Haworth station are nothing new.
