Lovely traditional train station. Steam trains come through here often to add to the historic feel of the place. Small gift shop inside and a traditional ticket window for a working station.

I came here yesterday for the 1st time ever for the 1940s weekend. I loved going on all different trains with different carriages, it was a smooth journey all the way through. I loved the little stations it stopped at, especially Haworth and Oakworth, they are worth a visit.

We came specifically because of the Railway Children link and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had an explorer type ticket so could get on and off where we liked all day. It's only a short trip from one end to the other so you can easily visit most of them

Had a great day out on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. We got on the 13:47 Diesel &Steam Engine. The whole experience feels really authentic, from the vintage stations to the beautifully maintained steam trains. The journey itself isn’t very long, but the scenery through the Worth Valley is lovely and it’s worth hopping off at Haworth to explore. Staff were friendly and clearly passionate, which adds to the charm. It can get a bit busy and tickets aren’t the cheapest, but overall it’s a really enjoyable trip—especially if you like history, trains, or just a relaxed day out with Children. Would definitely recommend at least once

Small,but perfectly formed line,with immaculately preserved stations. Staff very personable,great carriage stock,and excellent value for money,with a great addition of the museum,adding to the all round experience. Fantastic to be on the iconic platform, as featured in the Railway Children,and of course,the quaint smallest station in Britain. My son is a railway enthusiast,and adored it. Highly recommended
