EAST LANCS RAILWAY

  200 years of railways celebration

14 September 2025

This autumn  the ELR are celebrating the 200th Anniversary and birth of the modern Railway

We will be joining them on Sunday, and they are operating an intensive timetable (not yet available) of steam and heritage diesel trains over the full length of the 12 miles between Heywood, Bury, Ramsbottom and Rawtenstall.

There will be additional attractions up and down the line ( not yet published).

The Society last visited the ELR back in 2015, so it is high time to visit them again.
