Despite the problems faced my many rail travellers recently, Thomas the tank engine still managed to make it into Bront country over a week early.

Thomas will be running on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway this weekend.

Entertainment for the children will include fairground rides, stalls, face painting, story telling and unlimited travel behind Thomas on the railway.

Children will also get a chance to meet the Fat Controller and the opportunity to visit the award-winning museum of rail travel at Ingrow at no extra charge.

Tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for children, and can be purchased on the day of travel. Free car parking and a park and ride service are also provided.
