Top publicity award for Keighley and Worth Valley Railway

Volunteers at West Yorkshire’s Keighley & Worth Valley Steam Railway (KWVR) have been "chuffed" to learn that they are to receive a top publicity award from the Heritage Railway Association (HRA), the UK’s representative body for heritage railways.

The Making of the Railway Children

Announcing the awards, HRA Competition Organiser, Clifford Jones, said: “The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway has won the HRA Publications & Media Awards 2012 Publicity Award for the presentation and publicity material of their book The Making of the Railway Children which is an integral part of the history of the KWVR and its community. The judges commented on the quality and imaginative approach of the railway’s material, saying that a great deal of thought and considerable effort and imagination with the railway’s publicity portfolio has resulted in quite brilliant results that others in the industry should duly take on board”.

He continued, “These awards celebrate the very best in information for the travelling public. The KWVR has won through its continued efforts to provide clear, concise, attractive and varied information for its visitors. The railway has drawn upon its close links with the local community to strengthen its information pathways. The visitor and traveller are provided with a cohesive picture of the railway and the place - the KWVR rightly is at the heart of the community. Long may it remain so”. The award will be presented by HRA President, Lord Faulkner of Worcester, in the presence of local politicians, railway volunteers, and members of the media.
