There's several account on the Internet. There's a link to one of them in an earlier post of mine.

The mind boggles though at the audacity.

Halifax railway station had a footbridge stolen in broad daylight. Backed in, onto the low loader & away it went. I believe they even got a police escort supplied for it, abnormal load.

What I don't get is why you would want to steal a train...it's not as if you could easily flog it on ebay, or take it down to the local cash-converters...!

Its not the first time

Apparantly it used to have two. I find it hard to believe it had one.

I can remember trains running on the line but not the station. It does make a nice training ride as part of route 66 now having a nice gentle gradient for about 7.5 miles from Mirfeild to Low Moor.

The Spen line I think went into non use first.

The train was not stolen. It was accidentally set in motion. Read about it here.
