Families climbed aboard a classic carriage and were served cream teas by a butler on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway yesterday.

Passengers sat in the UK’s oldest working railway carriage, the Victorian Old Gentleman’s Saloon. Famously used in the 1970 film The Railway Children, it was in action to give tours of Bronte Country. The 1871 wooden carriage, hauled by a Victorian steam locomotive, visited six stations, Haworth, Damems, Oakworth, Ingrow and Keighley, leaving Oxenhope station to the sound of a brass band playing on the platform.

The tours resume today, from Oxenhope at 11.45am, 1.15pm, 2.45pm and 4.15pm. Prices start at £12.
