East Lancashire Railway

East Lancashire Railway company information, Employees & Contact Information

The East Lancashire Railway, sited in Lancashire, is one of the UK’s premier heritage railways and is a major driver of local tourism, focusing on history, hospitality and preservation. Originally opened in 1846 to link a newly industrialised Lancashire with the wider world, the railway represented the region’s beating heart, ferrying workers and goods throughout Britain and across the globe. Thanks to hard work and dedication of an initially small group of volunteers this legacy lives on today. Winding 12 miles through the beautiful Irwell Valley, from historic Heywood, through bustling Bury and on to rural Ramsbottom and beyond, the railway now employs over 60 people while remaining true to its roots with a standing army of over 750 volunteers who are vital to the day to day running of the line. The railway welcomes over 2000, 000 visitors a year and is constantly growing and developing. The East Lancashire Railway is always looking for new ways to introduce people to adventures in the Irwell Valley, and takes pride in its close relationships with local businesses and attractions. It has worked on several joint marketing initiatives aimed at increasing footfall across the board, as well as increasing interest in Lancashire’s fascinating heritage.
