On the 19th January 1965 Manning Wardle 0-6-0 saddle tank, ‘Sir Berkeley’ was delivered by road to Haworth, to be followed by the first two coaches for the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. These two vehicles, the MS&L and the Chatham, arrived at Keighley by rail and were stored at Keighley Station.
All three are now part of the Vintage Carriages Trust’s collection and will be in action on Saturday 10th January 2015 with 3 members’ shuttles between Ingrow and Keighley in celebration of these arrivals and the resultant founding of the Vintage Carriages Trust. The first train will depart from Ingrow Station at 12 noon and will be limited to VCT Members and invited guests. As the seating capacity is only 78, if as a VCT Member you would like to travel on this train please contact VCT Chairman, Trevor England at chairman@vintagecarriagestrust.org
The train will run two further trips at 1.30 and at 3.00pm. These will be open to members of the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Preservation Society and associated organisations as well as VCT members.
