Located in Bury, just 30 minutes from Manchester City Centre, is the award-winning East Lancashire Railway. A heritage railway that runs steam and diesel train services through the beautiful Pennine Lancashire scenery. There are plenty of things to see and do and stations are well equipped for group visits with cafes, pubs, gift shops and a dedicated Transport Museum, housing vintage vehicles, transport memorabilia and interactive exhibits. Guided tours and talks are also available. The railway also has some fantastic events scheduled throughout the year from guided Rail Ale Trail tours of some of the excellent local drinking spots to the nostalgia of their award winning 1940's weekend. Looking for something a little different? Why not indulge in a luxury steam train hauled dining experience on board Orient Express style carriages, learn to drive a train or get snap happy with a Photography Course?

This is an afternoon 3 course dinner in Pullman carriages ( similar to the Orient express) 2 1/2 hours on board over the full length of the East Lancashire railway in finest Lancashier countryside. ELR owned real ale pubs at both Bury and Rawtenstall, We had a 3 course meal with duck breast as the main course .Every course is correctly desribed as fine dining.

A well maintained railway station with a couple of food shops but not much else. But then again, it is a transport hub so excellent with frequent services to Liverpool, Manchester and other parts of the North West; and with links to mainline services. Plenty of monitors showing departure/arrival times and other information. Plenty of staff on hand to assist and to answer any queries.
