  • Heritage Railways Join Forces for Nationwide Campaign
    Heritage railways join forces for nationwide campaign July 20, 2021 The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) is spearheading a new nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the many heritage railways across the UK, collaborating with over 35 other organisations from as far afield as Cornwall, Suffolk, North Wales, North East Scotland and Northern Ireland*. ‘Love Your Railway’ is a six-week summer campaign from July 26th to September 5th, which aims to shine a spotlight on not only the important work heritage railways do with regards to conservation, education and research, but highlight how they have all been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of reduced capacities and income. NYMR is collaborating with a host of other famous heritage railways, including The Bluebell Railway, South Devon Railway (SDR), Crich Tramway Village, Severn Valley Railway and Snowdon Mountain Railway. Chris Price, General Manager at NYMR, said: “We’re optimistic and excited about the summer ahead, but the last 12 months have been like no other year, with lockdowns, reduced capacities due to social distancing, and staff and volunteers falling victim to the virus. “There are more than 150 operational heritage railways, running trains over nearly 600 miles of track, which protect, conserve and bring to life part of the nation’s rich cultural heritage – giving enjoyment and learning to thousands of people every year. “We want to do all we can to raise awareness of every heritage railway across the country and the challenges we face; all the participating railways will be posting their own social content across the six themed weeks, but we also want to encourage the public to get involved by sharing their favourite memories and inspiring imagery from their visits, using the hashtag #LoveYourRailway.” The six themed weeks are: Heritage, Education, Volunteers, Family, Sustainability and Future.

  • Royal Visit: Much Activity: Steady Progress - and Notice of Our Annual General Meeting
    Members’ Newsletter: September 2008 Royal Visit: much activity: steady progress - and Notice of our Annual General Meeting Annual Meeting: Saturday 18th October The formal Notice of the Annual General Meeting should be enclosed – if not, please let us know! This will be held on Saturday 18th October 2008 at 2 pm at our Museum at Ingrow. This is on the same day as the Worth Valley Railway’s Annual Meeting, which will take place that evening. Having the VCT and the K&WVRPS Annual Meetings on the same day allows those who wish to come for the weekend to attend both meetings. As is our custom, the Annual Meeting will be preceded by luncheon, again to be held at the Brontë Hotel, Lees Lane, Haworth, at 12.15, for 12.30 sharp. The Brontë Hotel is within about ten minutes walk (for the fit) from the Station at Haworth, and buses between Keighley and Haworth (via Ingrow) pass the door. It has ample parking, good food and good beer. As noted on the enclosed Notice of Meeting, please let our Secretary Dave Carr know if you are joining us for lunch. He will then send you a menu from which you may make your meal choices. Dave can be contacted via e-mail at [email protected] or on his home telephone number of 01759 304176. The Annual Meeting itself will be held in the upstairs room at our Museum at 2 pm. There will be plenty of time before and after the Meeting to look around the Museum. After the meeting there will no doubt be the annual celebration of what has been a remarkable year complete with a cake and suitable refreshment.

  • Report on the Value of Heritage Railways
    All Party Parliamentary Group on Heritage Rail Report on the Value of Heritage Railways July 2013 1 Members conducting the oral evidence sessions House of Commons: Mark Garnier MP (Con) - Chair Susan Elan Jones MP (Lab) -Vice-Chair Martin Vickers MP (Con) - Vice-Chair Nigel Mills MP (Con) Nicky Morgan MP (Con) Helen Goodman MP (Lab) Robert Goodwill MP (Con) Andrew Selous (Con) Richard Bacon (Con) (Research Assistants to Rt Hon Patrick McLoughlin MP and Norman Lamb MP also attended a session.) House of Lords: Lord Grocott (Lab) - Vice-Chair Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Lab) - Vice-Chair Lord Snape (Lab) Lord Wigley (Plaid Cymru) Secretariat: Chris Austin, OBE - Secretary 2 PART ONE – KEY RECOMMENDATIONS AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Key recommendations. The Group has made six key recommendations as a result of this inquiry: FOR GOVERNMENT 1. Planning Law. Heritage railways should be able to benefit from the same permitted development rights as Network Rail does on the national network. We believe guidance is needed to prevent over-zealous interpretation of planning legislation and regulation stifling development of heritage railways. 2. Railway extensions. The requirements for a Transport & Works Act Order for modest extensions to heritage lines should be simplified, possibly using an on-line proforma application process. 3. Sponsorship. The Department for Transport should take the lead sponsorship role on policies affecting heritage railways. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport should remain responsible for policy on tourism issues and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills for apprenticeships, training and development. FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES 4. Public Transport. There is scope to provide a public transport service on some heritage railways and a „public tourist service‟ on some others which should 3 be further developed and encouraged.

  • Newsletter November 2002-11-08
    Members’ Newsletter: August 2007 Bellerophon will steam again – can you help? The locomotive Bellerophon is owned by the VCT but is on loan to the Foxfield Railway, near Stoke on Trent. This is because we just do not have the space to keep Bellerophon at Ingrow, and also because this elderly (1874: Haydock Foundry) locomotive doesn’t really fit into the operation of the Worth Valley Railway. The present-day Foxfield Railway is on the branch line to the former Foxfield Colliery and so is a Railway into which this colliery- built locomotive fits very well. Those of you who have not been members since the dawn of time may not know much about this unique locomotive. It does feature in The Guinness Book of Railway Records as the surviving example of the first successful use of piston valves. Although this is Bellerophon’s only real claim to fame, our locomotive has that ‘certain something’ with which some people and certain objects are blessed, which draws people’s interest and affection. The fascinating history of this Haydock Colliery built locomotive and how it came into VCT's possession makes interesting reading. The late Vernon Smallwood’s book Bellerophon: Haydock to Haworth (available from the Trust at £2.55, including postage) is a good place to start. Vernon, whose obituary featured in the last Newsletter, was very much Bellerophon’s champion. Since its first restoration the locomotive has won praise, admiration, plaques, cups, and even a miners’ lamp trophy. He/she has travelled to many different locations including Scunthorpe Steelworks, the Middleton Railway, the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester, Drax Power Station, the Kent & East Sussex Railway, the East Anglian Railway Museum and the North Norfolk Railway: also further afield to The Netherlands and to Belgium.
