From Brighouse, now in Brum, via Worcester
I'm currently on a week's holiday in a cottage overlooking Haworth station, and have been enjoying watching the trains go back and forth.

About an hour ago, the Standard 4 in service this week trundled past light engine toward Keighley, and has just come back propelling a red engine that looked suspiciously like No. 1000.

Can anyone shed any light?

Would've thought it'd go to Haworth if it was on a low-loader.

K&WVR unload/load road-transported locos/vehicles at Ingrow West as it is directly off the A629 and therefore easier for large road vehicles to access, I understand.

Plus the bridges and corners in Haworth make it difficult/impossible.

I'll be there on the 1st and hopefully 13065 will on the roster! Just out of interest is it's current livery authentic?

I have notice there's problem with 45212 test run has been cancelled on Facebook visitor posts https://www.facebook.com/WorthValleyRailway/
and the new timetable 45212 is not on the page.

Something wrong with train anyone know?

Hmm this is a worrying development so close to the weekend of the Gala. I'm assuming that they are not willing to announce the timetable until they know if 45212 will be available to run.
