Back to the 1990s | Keighley & Worth Valley Railway - Diesel Gala 2026 - 19/06/26

A quick visit to the Keighley & Worth Valley for their annual diesel gala, featuring a wide selection of visiting and home fleet locomotives. The event had previously been billed to feature a trio of Class 37s, with large loco pair 37025 'Inverness TMD' and 37407 'Blackpool Tower' originally set to visit the line.

A last minute guest for the event came in the form of EWS liveried Class 37 37250 from the Wensleydale Railway, having visited the line's previous diesel gala in 2024. Another returnee to the Valley was Class 47 47715 'Railway Engineering Solutions - Quality Assured', sporting a Virgin Trains inspired livery, having previously visited in 2025 in Network SouthEast colours. With both 37250 and 47715 sporting early privatisation liveries, the event took on a late 90s theme.

Despite the lack of BR Large Logo 37s, fans of BR Blue were still catered for by Class 50 50049 'Defiance' and Class 55 55009 'Alycidon', the latter having also visited at last year's event. The Friday of the event would see both paired up running Keighley-Damems shuttles, with non-stop runs through Ingrow West Station.
