KWVR Diesel Gala
Sunday 27th May, hot sunny weather, guest locos and the home fleet. But why did the 31 not play out until late when it was undoubtedly one of the main attractions?
The Railbus runs into Keighley with a shuttle from Ingrow.
Soon afterwards, 37075 departs Keighley with the 10.00am departure to Oxenhope
Seen approaching the tunnel just before Mytholmes viaduct, split-headcode end, 37075 with the 10.45 return from Oxenhope
And from the other end of the tunnel, 25059 runs south over the viaduct.
Line up of traction for the event. EWS-liveried 31466 and BR Blue 33103 "Swordfish" and 37075 and Class 108 DMU (not used)
