Recent issues from the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway
During 2014 the Keighley and Worth Valley railway expanded their range of postcards by a further three. These being:
WVR326 Morning preparations at Haworth Spring 2014
WVR327 “Big Jim” at Oxenhope station
WVR328 34092 City of Wells at Keighley autumn 2014.
All three postcards and many others, some first published 20 years ago, are available from the railway’s shops at Keighley, Haworth and Oxenhope. The shop at Haworth is the largest and also has a vast selection of books and models. These new cards reflect large locos now operational on the line rather than the line’s 1950’s BR (Midland) general ambiance. Well worth a visit.
Finally, for those of you that like technical details and errors card WV184 showing Haworth station is now available as WV284R2006.
Back in 2006 it was re-issued as WV184R2006 but it looks like a printing was made with the wrong number and this has now nine years later been put on sale.
London Transport Museum Covent Garden – update
LTM728 remains the highest number issued in the on going series. The Wooden Postcard Company have produced a couple of wooden postcards for this musuem under the Transport for London copyright.

National Railway Museum – update
Perhaps as a reflection on the national decline in postcard usage and collecting, the selection of postcards available at the National Railway Musuem at York is drastically reduced from not so many years ago. It is a bit of an event when a new card is published. To support the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of Churchill’s funeral train, a new card has been issued. The stock number on the back of the card is 10562963.
Eurostar Bringing together 20 years
The departure lounge of Eurostar at St Pancras has a couple of racks of free postcards commemorating 20 years of Eurostar. There are eleven postcards and a reply card asking for comments/thoughts on the impact of Eurostar to cross border logistics/relations. The cards are not obviously available at Brussels Midi or Paris Nord.
