    No I do not currently volunteer
    V interesting. 4 staff presumably 1 at Oxenhope, Haworth, Oakworth, and Ingrow....
    Presumably something to be paid to KWVR for use of the line/ staffing, and that the third party would use their own rolling stock. With a single train and Token working 'suspended' the line could probably be done in 40 mins return....if 4 trips per rushour thats a potentially v early start for some lucky volounteers...

    Getting Voluteers to do a split shift to cover every day may be a bit of a problem, but its an interesting idea and the KWVR are one of the few heritage lines where this might work.

    You'd need two crossing keepers for a start at Oakworth and Damens, not sure about the other two - probably an RO and someone at Keighley?

    Currently the Railway as a wider body is reviewing a report by the JCT (joint transport committee) about commuter rail, there are however Lots of problems to overcome, but also lots of positives within the report. The Railway has 6 months to make its decisions, and when it does so it will no doubt be reported in the press etc. Until then anything said on here is just speculation etc,
    Regards
