The East Lancashire Railway Testimonials

We love the east Lancs Railway! As a family with two young children it is often difficult at weekends to come up with new ways of keeping them entertained so it's great to have this gem right on our doorstep. There is nothing that they enjoy more than a trip on the train over to Rawtenstall and back, pointing out landmarks and the animals in the fields. They love it. My son Jamie is also a big Thomas the Tank Engine fan and he constantly asks me when he can go back and see him again after the last time he came to town. We visit about once every couple of months and the children never tire of their trip out. I'd heartily recommend it to anyone with young children or even the kids amongst you.

This was a Fun day out with the Grandchildren did the whole length and return kids loved it Steam trains took me back to when I was a kid

What a fantastic experience on baord a real steam train with the East Lancs Railway. I remember as a small boy watching the staen trains for real, and now you can to ride on one for real. Fab!

One of Bury's finest tourist attractions! This weekend will be my 3rd time on the Santa Train and for anyone with small children I cannot recommend it highly enough. My son who is 4 has been asking about the Santa Train for at least a month now. I make it a social event, meet up with a friend who has children of similar ages to mine and we treat it as our Xmas get together. Its magical for the children but good fun for the grown up's too, with the mince pie and sherry as well recieved as is the toys given to the kids by Santa himself. Absolute Christmas Magic that Children will never forget. My seat will be booked for the next 10 years at least!
