The KWVR dedicated its timetable of 20th January 2013 to its pair of stalwarts - L&Y Class 0-6-0 No. 957 and Ivatt Class 2 2-6-2T No. 41241 to mark their final day in traffic before withdrawal for overhaul. Sadly the plans were affected by a police decision to close the line in pursuance of a murder investigation and it was late afternoon before No. 957, piloted by L&Y Class 3 0-6-0 No. 1300, was able to make its first run out of Keighley. The delayed train was noted climbing into Oakworth behind the L&Y duo of No. 1300 & No. 957.
