Almost immediately following the withdrawal of the passenger
service, the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Preservation
Society [KWVRPS] was formed with the object of reopening the line
for passenger traffic, and Haworth station was rented to serve as
Headquarters, museum site and depot. Being located near the vast
industrial conurbation of West Yorkshire, the preservation scheme
was ideally placed to attract large numbers of visitors eager to
witness steam's return to this 5 mile line set in the heart of the
Pennines, running as it does on steep gradients from industrial
Keighley to the moorland towns of Haworth, home of the Brontes, and
nearby Oxenhope. The aim of this series is to appeal to readers of
all ages, perhaps for different reasons...For the younger reader
there are wonderful pictures of trains, real trains. There will,
for example, be tank engines, steam engines, electric trains and
multiple units and many more varieties besides! Some will be
recognised from train sets, model railways and books, while others
will be seen for the first time. For the older reader the books are
designed to build into a collection placing the railway in the
context of key events thus providing an historical perspective of
travel in times past. For those old enough to remember the years
depicted, the series will, we hope, provide reminders for many of
school days, time perhaps spent train-spotting, shed bashing and
generally gricing! The books also make ideal theme gifts for the
year of birth, marriage, retirement, starting work and other such
events in life.
