The '''Keighley and Worth Valley Railway''' is a five-mile (eight-km) long [[heritage railway]] line in [[West Yorkshire]], [[England]], that runs from [[Keighley]] to [[Oxenhope]]. It connects to the national rail network line at Keighley. It is currently the first and only Heritage Railway that operates a whole branch line in its original form.
Hi, and welcome to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India|India WikiProject]]! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of India.


==History==
A few features that you might find helpful:
The line was built in 1867 by local [[mill (factory)|mill]] owners, but operated by the [[Midland Railway]], which owned most of the rail network in the area, and was eventually bought by the Midland.


After becoming part of the [[London, Midland and Scottish Railway]] in 1923, ownership passed to [[British Rail]]ways following nationalisation in 1948. As a part of the rail cutbacks in the [[1960s]], British Railways closed the line at the end of 1962.
* Please participate in any of our [[:Category:India-related WikiProjects|descendant workgroups]] that might interest you.
* The project has a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Outreach#Newsletter|bimonthly newsletter]]; it will normally be delivered in its entirety, but [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Outreach#Delivery options|several other formats]] are available.


However a preservation society was formed which bought the line from BR and reopened it in 1968 as a heritage railway. The line is now a major tourist attraction operated entirely by volunteers and carries more than 110,000 passengers every year. The KWVR is currently the only preserved railway that operates a complete branch line in its original form. It is celebrated among beer lovers for operating the only [[buffet car]] serving [[real ale]].
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:


The line and its bridges and tunnels including a deviation were built as [[single track (rail)|single track]] but with provision for [[double track|duplication]], should the need arise.

==Diesel locomotives under repair==
The ip is blocked 31 hours only, without knowing how stable the ip address is I couldn't block for longer without possibly effecting another party. If Royce Matthews returns on that ip then we know it is reasonably stable and if a report to AIV comments that they were blocked for the same reason the next block will likely be longer (and longer again for a repeat violation). If he comes back as a different ip then it is simply a game of "whack a mole"; report it to AIV noting the previous ip address he was blocked under and the new one will get another short block, and repeat as necessary. If he persists in changing ip's to continue, then some consideration will have to be given for a limited range block. This would need be requested at WP:ANI.
*BR 0-6-0 [[British Rail D0226|Prototype EE shunter]] no. D226 "Vulcan". Suffered a main generator failure in June 2006 and has also developed bearing problems. A group have now started the overhaul of the engine.

Thanks for the Barnstar. I'll go place it in the gallery dreckly (Cornish colloquial for "right away"). [[User:LessHeard vanU|LessHeard vanU]] ([[User talk:LessHeard vanU|talk]]) 21:28, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
*BR [[British Rail Class 108|Class 108]] unit 50928+51565. Both are in regular use but when the 101 set is in traffic this set will be withdrawn for overhaul.
:I would be reluctant to protect the ip page, since [[WP:AGF]] considerations allows the blocked editor to challenge their block (and any other editor on that address to ask for help). If the ip abuses that consideration (by launching further personal attacks or other policy violations) it can then be protected. It can, of course, be ignored by the possible target(s) - which is what I suggest.
*BR [[British Rail Railbuses|Railbuses]] No 79964. In regular use on morning diesel services.
:I would also be reluctant to semi-protect the target articles if it is only the one ip vandalising it - it is better to block the one ip and let other good faith ip's continue to edit. If there is a range of ip's vandalising, no matter if it is the same edit or different ones, then semi-protection may be an option. This will generally be for a short while, unless the vandalism has been long term. You can ask at [[WP:RFPP]], or again at WP:ANI if it is urgent.
:Generally, it is much the same for your talkpage - it is preferred that you keep the lines of communication open - ''but'' most admins are willing to do short protections, and I am among them. When you have an example of a harasser using mulitple ip's to disrupt your pages then ask me or yet again at WP:ANI (ANI would be better because there are sysops around when I am not).

==Diesel multiple units under overhaul or restoration==
== Help! ==
*BR [[British Rail Class 101|Class 101]] unit 51803+51189. Under restoration. Both vehicle's mechanical restorations have been done and both are shortly going to be painted in BR blue. The unit is expected to start carrying passengers in 2007.
*BR [[British Rail Railbuses|Railbuses]] No 79962. Currently stored and sheeted over in Haworth yard, the engines restoration has been finished and once shed space is available the body, wheels and frames will be restored. It is expected to be finished in 2008 which is the railways 40th anniversery of when it was first preserved.


==Locomotive notes==
{{tnull|adminhelp}}
*'Black Five' no.45212 is operational but currently based on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, as part of a deal which will see it running there until it has covered 70,000 miles. This could take the entire 10-year duration of the boiler ticket.
*'Coal Tank' no.1054 is currently undergoing overhaul at Ingrow. Once its owning group have completed the repairs, attention will be focused on returning "Bahamas" to traffic.
*Steam Engines in line for a return to steam before the end of the decade are no.34092 "City Of Wells", and no.43924, which was the first engine salvaged from Barry Scrapyard in South Wales to be returned to steam on a heritage line, back in the 1970s.
*Somerset & Dorset Railway 7F 2-8-0 no.53809, currently based at the Midland Railway Butterley, is due to visit the K&WVR in Autumn for their second steam gala of the year. This will be the locomotive's second visit, as it spent time on the railway during the 1980s.
*Class 101 vehicle No 51803 is operational but out of service awaiting a repaint in BR blue livery, 51189's interior and mechanical restoration is nearing completion and it to is awaiting a reapaint. The unit will hopefully be ready for service in 2007 allowing the 108 set to be withdrawn for repairs.

The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway is a five-mile (eight-km) long heritage railway line in West Yorkshire, England, that runs from Keighley to Oxenhope. It connects to the national rail network line at Keighley. It is currently the first and only Heritage Railway that operates a whole branch line in its original form.

History

The line was built in 1867 by local mill owners, but operated by the Midland Railway, which owned most of the rail network in the area, and was eventually bought by the Midland.

After becoming part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, ownership passed to British Railways following nationalisation in 1948. As a part of the rail cutbacks in the 1960s, British Railways closed the line at the end of 1962.

However a preservation society was formed which bought the line from BR and reopened it in 1968 as a heritage railway. The line is now a major tourist attraction operated entirely by volunteers and carries more than 110,000 passengers every year. The KWVR is currently the only preserved railway that operates a complete branch line in its original form. It is celebrated among beer lovers for operating the only buffet car serving real ale.

The line and its bridges and tunnels including a deviation were built as single track but with provision for duplication, should the need arise.

Locomotive notes

  • 'Black Five' no.45212 is operational but currently based on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, as part of a deal which will see it running there until it has covered 70,000 miles. This could take the entire 10-year duration of the boiler ticket.
  • 'Coal Tank' no.1054 is currently undergoing overhaul at Ingrow. Once its owning group have completed the repairs, attention will be focused on returning "Bahamas" to traffic.
  • Steam Engines in line for a return to steam before the end of the decade are no.34092 "City Of Wells", and no.43924, which was the first engine salvaged from Barry Scrapyard in South Wales to be returned to steam on a heritage line, back in the 1970s.
  • Somerset & Dorset Railway 7F 2-8-0 no.53809, currently based at the Midland Railway Butterley, is due to visit the K&WVR in Autumn for their second steam gala of the year. This will be the locomotive's second visit, as it spent time on the railway during the 1980s.
  • Class 101 vehicle No 51803 is operational but out of service awaiting a repaint in BR blue livery, 51189's interior and mechanical restoration is nearing completion and it to is awaiting a reapaint. The unit will hopefully be ready for service in 2007 allowing the 108 set to be withdrawn for repairs.
