Superb stations, nice ride ! Wonderful memories of the film "The Railway Children" (say's Daddy)
Two platforms of the BR station. Felt you were on a film set (which it often is). Small 'newsagents' style stop with a junk shop at the end of the platform.
Didn't get off here, but this is the site of the Vintage Carriages Trust.
Smallest station in Britain. You have to ask to get off here and be in the front carriage.
Didn't get off here, but this is the famous station used in the film "The Railway Children". You even cross the level crossing and pass the house used by Mr. Perks !
Home of the Bronte family and main base of the railway. Has loco shed, viewing area and picnic site.
End of the line. Small rolling stock collection.
Gentle ride though Yorkshire hills to the foot on the Pennines. Two tunnels, two level crossings and six stations. All this and views of where the Railway Children was filmed.
Good variety
Small display at Oxenhope.
Unseen display at Ingrow.
Main one at Haworth, but wasn't allowed in as they were shunting. However got a good view of the shunting from the viewing area. You must leave the station complex to get to this.
Small one at Oxenhope, but far better access. Not allowed in the cabs though.
None : Other than engine and carriage sheds.
Two at Keighley : One 'newspaper stand' style with a few books and toys. One railway junk shop
One at Haworth : Geared towards the railway enthusiast.
One at Oxenhope : Geared towards children and grand-parents.
A converted carriage at Oxenhope. Not tried.
