A train of the East Lancashire Railway has arrived, and its diesel locomotive (No D1501) is running round the train prior to returning to Rawtenstall via Bury. Heywood station was not part of the original East Lancashire Railway, but was on the Central Lancashire line of the L&Y company. It is reached via a new bridge built at Bury over the top of the Metrolink tram line.
