Donations keep the wheels turning

Thanks to our 500+ volunteers, the KWVR takes the public and enthusiasts back to the magic age of steam travel. The income from tickets to travel and sales in our cafés and shops help us to provide the passenger services day-to-day. But there are many more costs that keep the wheels of our trains turning.

As well as this income, it is essential that the Railway raises substantial, additional funds to maintain its infrastructure and rolling stock. The locomotive that pulls the train and the carriages you travel in not to mention the locomotives and carriages need constant maintenance and overhaul, not to mention that the Railway is over 150 years old and our bridges, viaducts, tunnels, track and buildings all need to be kept in good order.

Donating to the KWVR

Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Preservation Society

The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Preservation Society is a registered charity, registered charity number 1136853. Working under the umbrella of the Preservation Society, it is the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Ltd. that runs the trains, cafés and retail outlets, collects the fares and maintains the locomotives, carriages, tracks and all the structures that make up the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.

In addition, as a charity, the Preservation Society collects donations from far and wide to help us with the ongoing provision of steam operated passenger services. If you are a UK tax payer, we can also collect an addition amount from the Government by way of you Gift Aid, an important additional source of funds for the Railway.
