Complete with new footpath and access ramp. The station is accessible to all including wheelchair users who can use the new Wheelchair Carriage (See here). The station is now fully open to the public and visitors to Burrs Caravan Park.

Harvey Alexander, Caravan Club marketing director, said: “This is a special day for our members and visitors. The East Lancashire Steam railway has been a popular attraction for a number of years. We are delighted to be able to support the opening of the new station and welcome such distinguished guests, including the Mayor of Bury and the Flying Scotsman, on this historic day. The Caravan Club will extend a warm welcome to a host of special guests the mayor of Bury and local councillor Mike Connolly”.

We are hoping to stay at the site early next year to visit the railway and will write more about the station then.
