A great day out today East Lancashire Railway celebrating #lancashire Day

A PLEA: IF you feel comfortable to eat/drink/shop out this weekend PLEASE choose a local indie business to spend your money with. Everyone is going to have it tough but our end of the industry has no resilience at all and we are all facing impossible trading conditions..

We had 10 people booked on the trail today. Forgot to take pics because genuinely had such a good time. The pubs are busy but understandably worried. If you're willing and able to take action, get down to the local boozer and treat yourself to a tipple. Small things matter. 🍻🍺

Please note due to the Government's announcement today of pub/restaurant closures tomorrow's Rail Ale tour is cancelled. We will be in touch individually with those customers who have booked this and future dates. Keep safe and well everyone. East Lancashire Railway

To rail ale-trailers and visitors to the East Lancashire Railway past, present and future, the railway needs some help. If you're able to RT the below link and if you can donate something to their funding campaign in these difficult times, it'd be greatly appreciated.
