There are two museums in Ingrow Station Yard  We are located 200m from Ingrow Station at the end of the yard.

Opening hours

The Museum of Rail Travel is open from 11.00 am every day except 25 December.     

Last admission is at 4.00pm. Groups are welcome by prior arrangement and we may be able to arrange evening openings.

Admission charges 2023

Entry to the Shop is free. We sell hot and cold drinks, ice cream and sweets as well as souvenirs, back-number magazines, pre-owned railway-interest books and assorted cast-iron plates, railway lamps and other 'Railwayana'.

Rail Story Ticket to visit both museums at Ingrow. Entry to the Museum of Rail Travel and Ingrow Loco Museum is £5.00 for adults, £4.00 for concessions, and £3.00 for accompanied children. We regret that unaccompanied children are not admitted.

If you only wish to visit one museum, charges are £3.00 for adults, £2.50 for concessions and £2.00 for accompanied children.   We regret that unaccompanied children are not admitted.

If you are travelling on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, ask for a Day Rover Ticket which includes admission to the Museum of Rail Travel, admission to Ingrow Loco Museum and a day's unlimited travel on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.  Day Rover tickets are available at our Museum, also at any Worth Valley Railway Station (when staffed).

Our vehicles are sometimes loaned to other railway preservation societies and film companies and not all our stock may therefore be present at the time of your visit. Details of VCT carriages and locomotives on loan elsewhere are usually on our news pages, but if intending to visit to view a particular vehicle it would be worth enquiring first. Occasionally, special events held by the Worth Valley Railway may involve the use of Ingrow yard and/or our vehicles. If your visit coincides with one of the Ingrow Yard special events, please inform the Worth Valley Railway attendant that you would like to visit our Museum.

Research Facilities

The Trust is very pleased to open its archives and allow access to the stored collection for research purposes.  However, not all of the Collection is on display or on site and a volunteer from VCT would have to be present .  It is therefore essential that any visits are  pre booked and must be during the opening hours of  11am to 4pm. Please contact the Hon Curator, via the Trust’s email or postal address to make any arrangements.
