The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, used in The Railway Children

The steam trains on the railway were used in the film The Railway Children. (Americans would say movie, but since the film was British, and the railway is British, the term film is more appropriate.

The book, The Railway Children, was by E Nesbit.

The train runs several times a day. Once a day they attach the carriage which contained the director's chairs, normal armchairs in a railway carriage, seems very opulent.

The shop has lots of toys and gifts.
