Railway celebrates with
With that distinctive hat and pipe, people on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway could not mistake Sherlock Holmes on Sunday. He and his trusty sidekick Dr Watson visited stations on the line to re-enact scenes from the stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle which were originally filmed at the railway by Granada TV. The day was part of a series to celebrate the steam railway’s role in film and television. Press Officer Julian Jones had previously offered a free day rover ticket to anyone bringing a blood-hound but no one obliged. Howard Clough, of K&WVR, said: “We did wonder if we would be over-run.” Another attraction was the 125-year-old Bellerophon steam locomotive - one of the oldest of its kind - which was offering rides with two vintage coaches. Mr Clough said: “Quite a few turned up in costume which is nice, and it’s an education to ride behind a steam locomotive when it’s so rare and in good condition.” | ||||
