The final episode in this series looks at the last section of this network, Thornton to Keighley.
The other episodes are on my playlist.

Great explanation of the lines I certainly have learned something about the workings and closures is quite nostalgic.Thank you.

Thanks, glad it was of use 🙂

Great video ! I have seen many photos of Great Northern (LNER) locos on the line between Keighley and Halifax, but none of any Midland types. I wonder if Midland locos worked any regular freight or passenger trains over to Queensbury and Halifax ?

wow new sub from me this was really interesting

Great work as always. It would be useful to show a route map at the beginning. My knowledge of West Yorkshire geography isn’t what it was. I moved down South in 1994.

[@Historyofthenorth]

Yes that's a good idea, I did include it in part one if I remember correctly 👍

It's difficult to understand why housing and commercial development didn't take place along the line to make it sustainable long term?
