Keighley & Worth Valley Railway launches adults-only Scare Train

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 01:02 · Archive

The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway has launched an adults-only Scare Train Halloween experience. Tickets for the Saturday night event sold out quickly after being put on sale, suggesting strong passenger interest.

The journey begins on a packed platform at Oxenhope Station as darkness falls. Soon after departure, the train's lights are dimmed and audio effects begin. As the steam-hauled train travels through Haworth, Oakworth and Ingrow stations, live performers dressed as horror characters burst into the carriages. The characters include figures with chainsaws, clowns and others holding dolls, along with actors in blood-stained costumes who approach passengers directly.

One passenger responded to the performers by shouting 'leave me alone you horrible creature'. Many of the passengers attending were themselves dressed in frightening outfits for the experience.
