A visit to the East Lancs Railway in September 2022. City of Wells, 34092 made an early start, loco D345 appeared on an enthusiast special. D9531 also operated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Bury we visited the Art Gallery which has some good exhibits. There is also a gallery about Victoria Wood and across the road is her lifesize, or perhaps larger, statue. Across from the Art Gallery is the Fusilier Museum about the Lancashire Fusiliers, another good museum with a charge for entry. Bury is well supported by musuems as there is a transport museum across from Bolton Street Station. All these places are very close to the ELR station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rawtenstall is a small town with an interesting high street, quite a few cafes, although busy on Saturday. There is also a new Bus Statino, quite nicely done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
