Oakworth Station by Night


The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway Beer and Music Festival provides not only entertainment, with drinks and music, but also a chance for night-shots of the trains and stations.


Thursday night saw us at Oakworth; Amy to get some shots of the station itself lit by gaslight, me (Ben) mainly the trains, in this case Pacer 144011 which was operating the high-intensity shuttle service.


There was a Hunters Moon and a very clear sky.


Pacer arrives- we were both playing a bit with long-exposure pictures.




Worth mentioning we came back on Friday and Saturday too- the station was closed after dark on the weekend, because of the longer trains and short platform, but the station staff helpfully let us on to wander around and take pics (helps to be members and vols with the line). The moon was better on the Saturday night.






We also spent some time at Oxenhope and Ingrow Stations, more on those visits in the next couple of posts...
