Does the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway still there or does it not exist anymore. If not then I think it should reopen.

The KWVR does still operate it was one of the first lines to be sold off to a private company by BR! Like many heritage railways that operate as soon as closure was announced a group of enthusiasts and locals banded together to begin the effort to reopen the line with the said group eventually buying the line and operating it to this day! They've just revealed as a heritage line huge news plans for a new engine shed for diesel locomotives as well as the possibility of creating regular commuter service along the route as well! So to cut a long story short, yes.

@@Thoroughfare Ok. Sounds like a great idea. I agree with you 😊

It was closed in the early 60s due to the Beeching axe I think but some people refurbished it
