A spooky “scream train” will be pulling into Greater Manchester for what promises to be the ultimate family Halloween event.

The East Lancashire Railway (ELR) will be welcoming the return of its Halloween Ghost Trains, where families can hop on board a spooky steam train and enjoy plenty of hauntingly fun and frightful delights.

The 80-minute train ride will take off from Bury Bolton Street Station, which will feature a haunted house walkthrough over the ghoulishly decorated footbridge featuring animatronic creeps and kooks, before making its way to Rawtenstall and back.
