After 53 years under ownership of the Standard 4 Locomotive Preservation Society, BR Standard 2MT 2-6-0 No. 78022, has been gifted by its owners to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway to ensure its future on the railway and as part of their running fleet, as the society is now to wind up.

BR Standard 2MT 2-6-0 No. 78022 has become the first standard gauge steam locomotive to run successfully on bio-coal as part of a trial for future clean fuel for steam locomotives. On the 14th of February 2022 the locomotive was fired using a batch of Homefire Ecoal. Hauling five carriages, as it would have done with traditional coal, the Standard 2MT hauled its trains up the steeply graded, five mile long, heritage line in West Yorkshire which was very successful.
