The weather is holding and Jim is playing!

Weather permitting, we'll have the brilliant Jim Rhodes back on the platform next Sunday, for what is always a popular afternoon! Do come along.

We have had to reschedule Jim Rhodes to next Sunday, weather dependent - but fear not, because we have Kayleigh Hall Music on Saturday evening, so come on down anyway!

Steam Services Return! 📣🚂

We are pleased to say that our steam services will be returning to normal from Wednesday 26th August, just in time for the Bank Holiday weekend too!

Our rostered locomotive for the week ahead will be West Country 34092 ‘City of Wells’

Of course we will continue to monitor any further dry weather in relation to running steam hauled services, but for now we can’t wait to see our heritage steam locomotives at the head of passenger trains after a couple of weeks of hot weather.

🎟️🎟️ Plan your day out along the gorgeous Irwell Valley by visiting our website: www.eastlancsrailway.org.uk/plan-your-day-out/

Our thanks also go to the ELR’s Diesel Department for rallying around to roster extra locos and providing crews for the steam cover that we’ve had in place.

(Loco’s subject to availability)
