Keighley & Worth Valley Railway will host a Halloween experience at Oxenhope Station from 29 to 31 October.
Keighley & Worth Valley Railway will host a Halloween event at Oxenhope Station from 29 to 31 October, offering visitors a journey on The Spooky Express through the Worth Valley.
The experience begins in the Haunted Engine Shed at Oxenhope, featuring mysterious characters, live performances, and a Spooky Show before passengers board the train. Carriages will be decorated for Halloween. Noel Hartley, business and operations manager at Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, said the old railway's natural atmosphere of 'steam, smoke, tunnels, old stations and dark engine sheds' provides the foundation for the event.
Visitors are encouraged to come in costume, with prizes awarded for some of the best outfits. According to Hartley, the event is 'designed to be fun rather than terrifying', though he noted that passengers 'may be a few surprises waiting around the railway' that could cause them to jump.
