The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway is hosting its Diesel Gala this weekend, on the 18th-21st June.

A range of locomotives, including a number of Class 37s, were set to appear at the gala.

Last week, it was announced that 37407 would not appear.

The railway has now released the news that Class 37 No. 37025 has developed a fault and is being withdrawn from its appearance at the gala and operating The Keighley Stag railtour.

The railtour will now be hauled by 37401 ‘Mary Queen of Scots’.

The railway has been working hard behind the scenes, and thanks to the support of the Wensleydale Railway and RailAdventure, it has secured another locomotive.

Class 37 No. 37250 will now appear at the gala and will arrive later today.

37250 will replace all of 37025’s paths, and full timetables can be found on their website.
