A couple of photos from the last couple of weeks on the ELR, with a couple of secondman turns on 33109/45108/37109, a driving turn on W55001 on a litter train & spotting 50015 while out collecting cans for one of the loco groups, busy busy β™₯️ #EastLancashireRailway #Secondman #DMUDriver
Trip to Blackpool yesterday with my little pensioner Denny. She's now deaf, full of arthritis and has started to get doggy dementia but she's still loving life & had the best time running (slowly) on the beach & riding about on the trams πŸ–€ #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #SeniorStaffy
A few photos from the recent Railway200 open day. I got the rare opportunity to take 08479 out of station limits & all the way up to Summerseat, where we managed a massive 11mph. A really enjoyable event & great to see the railway so busy πŸ–€ #EastLancsRailway #ShunterDriver
Cracking 1st proper day back on the railway this year, getting the black 08 & the 09 ready for next Saturday's Railway 200 Open Day. Quite a few diesel bods about so it was nice to have a catch up with people β™₯️ #eastlancsrailway #Gronks #Class08 #Class09

Denny, on the left, is 15, mostly deaf now & suffering with arthritis but she's on monthly pain injections & is happy & still loves going out for walks. Lola is 14 & doesn't seem to have any age related ailments yet.
The little seniors out enjoying the sun this afternoon, even though it was a little bit chilly πŸ₯Ά #adoptdontshop #seniorstaffies #seniordogs #rescuedogs
An incredibly fun morning on 08164 'Prudence' getting to run round the station with 33109 blasting some tones as part of the start of Railway 200, followed by a nice chilled out afternoon having a ride behind new arrival 34081 '92 Squadron'. Top day all round β™₯️ #eastlancsrly #Railway200
A busy day with the final bit of DMU maintenance for this year. Bubble & Power Squeak (50455) have been de-tinseled & service checked as backup for the last few running days, while the Cravens has had a fandrive belt replaced ready for its 3 running days β™₯️ #eastlancsrly #BuryUnitTeam
Bless them, the poor units were all frozen this morning πŸ₯Ά Bubble & the 104 have both been serviced checked ready to act as back up for the Pacer on the Heywood shuttles, though due to a driver change at weekend they'll be running on Sunday πŸ˜€ #EastLancsRailway #BuryUnitTeam
A pretty decent weekend, with yesterday spent watching Bury FC win 8-0 at home, followed by a hilarious night out with the diesel shenanigans group, while today was spent service checking the 09 & adding the emergency coupler ready for Santas & a diner shunt with Pru πŸ€πŸ’™πŸ˜ƒ #EastLancsRailway
I'll never get used to the fact that I get to drive these amazing units. I'm always slightly terrified on driving turns but it's an absolute honour to be trusted by the team to look after their pride & joys. Video by one of our midweek volunteers Don M #EastLancsRailway #DMUDriver πŸ’š πŸšƒπŸšƒ
That's it for another DMU gala. Everything's made it back in 1 piece and all the units & their loco friends are back on shed & having a well earned rest. It's been a cracking weekend with some new moves done, lots of chips eaten & lots of laughs & chaos β™₯️ #EastLancsRailway #DMUDriver #BuryUnitTeam
Bit of a last minute late afternoon/early evening works train to Rammy with 45108 today. Lots of shunting involved, with the entire consist being swapped round in the sidings πŸ™ƒ πŸ’™ #EastLancsRailway #Class45 #Secondman
The walks may be getting shorter & slower but the senior staffies are still very much loving life πŸ–€πŸ€β™₯️
After a night out with the Valiant team on Saturday & a day traveling behind her on Sunday it was nice to get out for a day on the footplate with the tub today. 50015 'Valiant' seen in Platform 2 this evening after a day on the works train πŸ’™ #EastLancsRailway #Secondman #BuryValiantGroup #Class50
It's been an epic week with a nice mix of gigs & trains. Alice Cooper & Man & the Echo were the gigs of choice & a variety of railway turns including a couple of nights with Bubble, stewarding on the Halloween trains, which I've absolutely loved & a weekend of shunting with Pru β™₯️ #eastlancsrailway
A few photos from the recent steam gala, featuring guests 9f 92134, Andrew Barclay 1969 'J N Derbyshire' & Furness 20, as well as a rare passenger move out of Rawtenstall bay platform with Jinty 47298 πŸš‚ #eastlancashirerailway #eastlancsrailway
1st post on here is today's turn on the 104. A rancid start to the morning with it being right down the bottom of the yard, needing coolant & oil & then 1 car being completely flat but managed to get it charged & the sun came out eventually so it's been a fairly decent day πŸ˜…πŸ€― #eastlancsrailway
