Merry Gridmas everyone we hope you are all looking forward to the new year as much as we are.

We can now share the first of our 50 year celebrations with you.

Join us on Saturday 21st March 2026 where our loco 56006 will complete 3 runs of the line at the East Lancs Railway. The Timetable will be finalised over the coming weeks and published on our website and socials soon.

For a limited time we are offering early bird tickets for you and your guests which will only cost £20 each for the full day.

From 1st Jan they will be £25 each online and then £30 each on the day.

Please note this ticket is for our charter only and not the scheduled ELR services on the same day.
