Nearest rail station to Bury?
« on: 01 November 2010, 18:03:26 »
Looks like I'm orft to collect a car in Bury on Friday and looking for the nearest main line railway station to Bell Lane, Bury.  Tried and failed thus far to see whats a preserved line and whats still got national trains on it.

Clue, anyone please??

The preserved line has a station at Bury Bolton Street.

Best bet is probably train to Manchester and Tram to Bury (Andy B will know best)

But I don't think Bruce wants to go by steam  :y
You need the Metrolink from either Manchester Piccadilly or Victoria that terminate at Bury. From there you could walk to Bell Lane in 10 minutes.  :y :y

This is where you'd get off  :y

It used to be one of the main line stations in Bury, but that was many  many years ago. As MarksDTM said, that's now home-ish to the East Lancs preservation steam line (and diseasals - hence Marks interest  ;)) but you'd far more enjoy The Trackside pub these days.

Victoria seems the furthest north and with a Prem Inn nearby. 

Whats the running time on the Metrolink from Victoria to Bury Terminus, please, Andy?

About 25 mins I believe.
