There's a path beside the railway between Oakworth and Ebor Lane that could provide a reasonable viewpoint, https://www.google.com/maps/@53.835...try=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDcxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw== 53°50'08.1"N 1°56'47.9"W

There's also a foot crossing just outside Oxenhope station that people use for photos.

In addition to the path mentioned above,
- overbridge on Woodhouse Road between Keighley and Ingrow is good for southbound trains working hard up the hill
- there’s a footpath that goes over Mytholmes tunnel, easily walkable from Oakworth. I *think* you can get photos of at least one portal
- the line is on an embankment above Mytholmes Lane coming out of Oakworth and there’s an interesting mill building that you might be able to incorporate into photos

There is a snicket from low mill lane adjacent to the railway bridge in keighley behind Parkwood St that's a good vantage point for filming or photos that's good for watching locos climb up to globe curve out of keighley station. Also there is a viewing platform in the caravan park near Oakworth and a public footpath in the field above damens signal box offering a good photo point for damens loop.

What's the footbridge over the line near Haworth station (leading up to Central Park and the main village) like as a photo location?

Isn't that between Haworth and Oxenhope? But it is indeed an excellent location; my favourite spot.
From the Haworth Coop, head under the arched bridge on the old Mill, walk to the far end of the new housing estate, pick up a public footpath at the end and follow it, after 5-10mins, turn right over a small footbridge then walk under the railway line.

Thank you all for your responses. Please does anyone know where to enquire for a Lineside permit (if you can)? Also is a lineside permit worth it? Thank you so much in advance.

I *think* you have to be a member to apply for a lineside permit. It certainly used to be like that

My understanding is that they are no longer issued to new applicants, but people who already have them can still use them.
