Recommended Heritage Railways

[_toommm_]

I'm looking to hopefully visit a heritage railway on Saturday 30th, of course for the trains, but also for some good beers. I'm based in West Yorkshire, but don't mind travelling. I've researched the KVWR, ELR, or NYMR. Which out of those would anyone recommend please, or can you even recommend a railway that isn't one of those?

Thanks in advance

Some good real ale to be had at both ends of the SVR in Bridgnorth and Kidderminster stations. Not sure how doable that is from Yorkshire though.
Of the three you've listed, I'd say the KWVR is best for beer. Some nice pubs in Keighley and Haworth.

All 3, in their different ways, are worth visiting, but my totally biased vote is for the KWVR
The dinosaurs will have been hidden away by then, so it's normal timetable.

As someone else living in Airedale I share your bias!

However, the other two offer longer runs and, in the case of the NYMR, the seaside.

I've just realised I didn't thank you all for replying, so thank you! With the inclement weather, I'll probably stick to the KWVR as it's one I can easily revisit when the weather gets better, rather than travelling a long way and not being able to enjoy the line fully

I always love the North Moors Railway on holidays to Scarborough (which has Central Tramway and North Bay Railway too).
