Great to ride on that train.I well remember the Bury To Bolton line that ran through Knowsley Street back in the late 60's. Happy days of the smell of steam trains and getting a platform ticket to watch the engines come and go.Happy memories

@Shawn Tristen Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I have found Old Maps co.uk dating from 1850 onwards showing the changes overtime ,Bury to Manchester In 1850 there were no station between Manchester and Bury the came later on . Heywood , Whitefield, Prestwhich had there own Goods yard and Crumpsall with a coal yard.
4.49 spot the bad neighbour - a somewhat dangerous looking overhanging pile of scrap metal bending over the security fence and looking like ti might fall onto railway property.
It connects to the Manchester Metrolink tram network (and as such the national rail network at Manchester Victoria) just south west of Bolton Street Station but I presume despite it being full BR loading gauge most trains are too heavy and/or can't cope with the gradients to use this line, meaning there's no doubt a full railway link elsewhere.
@@TheBrickGuy7939 Was chopped last time was there last year. Even if it was intact, it couldn't be used now as access onto Metrolink for none Trams is prohibited. Will be nice when the ELR get to use a platform at Castleton eventually.

Fame at last :) Myself sat on the bench near the end of the platform while my daughter plays on the yellow luggage trolley a bit further down :)

Does the ELR still connect to Manchester (the main national network)?

Only at Castleton now. The connection south of the sidings at Bury was disconnected when Metrolink opened.
@@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf The track is still connected I think but it is not available to be used.

@@railfreightdrivergallagherGBRf Yeah there were plans a few years ago to extend it.
What is the highest speed on this film clip ?
25mph
Meant to be 25mph (officially)as with all preserved lines, but the class 14s max is 45mph,as can be seen! 😉
