Travel back in time on the East Lancs Railway
10:10am Tuesday 27th January 2009
THE East Lancashire Railway is staging two special events in February.
On Saturday, February 7, train buffs can travel back in time to the days when slam-door diesel multiple units (DMUs) were the mainstay of the country’s rail services.
The following day, Sunday, February 8, will also feature one of ELR’s heritage multiple units working alongside a steam-hauled service.
ELR is also to hold a Steam Weekend on Saturday and Sunday, February 21 and 22. Attractions include an early morning freight train, Bury-Ramsbottom shuttles and the use of a number of locomotives.
