The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway was forced to close its doors on the 20th March 2020 due to the Corona virus outbreak. Essentially, the railway has had to be mothballed until such time as the restrictions are lifted.
Without income, cash reserves are disappearing fast. The railway needs help to survive as the fantastic example of living history that it is today.

Here at the KWVR, we are grateful for all the support we are receiving, but these are difficult times so we have been looking at how we can stay in touch, raise much needed funds for the Railway and have a good time.
With no real trains currently running on the KWVR, this weekend's roster is a virtual one based on the equivalent weekend in a past year. This week, 2015, and we have 34092 'City of Wells' returning from its new home on the East Lancashire Railway.
As a result of the continued situation with COVID-19 the KWVR is now closed until further notice. No passenger services will be operating for the foreseeable and all work on the Railway has now ceased

On 19 March, increased measures put into place by the government meant that we had to close the railway to all but essential work. Our volunteers are at the heart of our railway and their health and well-being as well as that of our passengers and staff is our top priority.
We are unsure how long the railway will be closed, but as a registered charity the cancellation of our passenger trains, events and the closure of our commercial outlets will hit us hard. This appeal is the first in a possible series of fundraising initiatives we will be delivering. Please help support us through this difficult time by donating whatever you can.
Your donation will go towards keeping the railway afloat, and with your help we’ll be able to continue doing what we do best.
Do you have a special occasion coming up, be it a special birthday, engagement party, wedding, retirement or even a corporate event? Here at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway we have a range of beautiful vintage carriages that could be perfect for your special event, so we may well just have what you’re looking for and with something a little bit different from your normal venue.
We can arrange for the these coaches to be attached to any service train, subject to availability, and it will be yours for your exclusive use. We will also, if required, provide catering to make that special day complete.
