Itinerary
Coach Itinerary
Day 1
From a morning pickup in your local area, we travel by coach to our hotel, arriving in time for dinner.
Day 2
Following breakfast at the hotel, we head to Bury where we board our train behind the magnificent locomotive, the Flying Scotsman, for a picturesque steam-hauled round trip journey on the East Lancashire Railway. With a journey time of approximately 75 minutes, we travel to the charming town of Rawtenstall through beautiful rural panoramas and picture-postcard villages, passing over viaducts and through tunnels before arriving back in Bury. We then enjoy free time to explore the town, where there is plenty to see and do. Browse the independent boutiques, discover Bury’s award-winning market, or delve into the industrial heritage of the North West at Bury Transport Museum, home to stunningly restored vehicles and historic artefacts.
