Chance to drive a train on East Lancashire railway

WANNABE engine drivers can make their dreams a reality thanks to the East Lancashire Railway.

The heritage railway is offering enthusiasts the chance to get behind the controls of a steam or diesel engine between Rawtenstall, Ramsbottom and Bury.

The restored ex-British Railway locomotives also pull trains of vintage carriages and wagons.

Participants can spend a full or a half-day on board, with the option of a guided tour and the chance to act as a train guard.

For more information, contact the railway’s ‘on- footplate experience’ manager on 07814 302813.
