I have been here several times over the years and it has always had a great selection of real ale. I have also been on the steam trains for a great day out. Plenty of seating inside and out. Well worth the visit.Had a good pint of Crag from the Fell brewery. My mate had Goddards from the Isle of White. A really unusual one to find.

A wonderful bar to visit especially if a loco is in Steam. Beer quality and selection always excellent. Also a facinating town centre. Hopefully a few photographs say more about the bar & town centre.

Was always a fantastic bar for Real Ale and Ciders, but is even better since the recent refurb. Always a friendly welcome from the bar staff. HUGE choice of Ales, Craft Beers and Ciders available both on the bar and in the fridges. Also, steam trains, if you like that sort of thing.

August 2022: photo update, following another lovely visit. Always a great choice of keg, cask and bottle, plus ciders. Food was excellent too and even Archie had a personal visit from the Chef, with a handful of best sausage. We had a Sausage Sandwich; pork sausage served in a ciabatta, with caramelised onion gravy and tomato chutney and Lancashire Cheese & Ham Sandwich; tasty Lancashire cheese, roast ham and tomato chutney on white bread, served with dressed leaves. Also had Proper Chips each! The Trackside Bar, situated on Platform 2, Bury Bolton Street Station. Renovated, freshened up, new & improved. As if things couldn't get any better. Fantastic selection of Cask & Keg Ales, Ciders, Perries, Stouts & of course Pub Grub. Stunning setting on the old platform of the East Lancashire Railway. A bar, and so much more! Nostalgia, history, events and also quite simply, a meeting place for friends! CAMRA pub of the year 2022.

A real ale bar with seating inside or outside on a platform at Bury's East Lancs Railway. There is always a magnificent choice of beers and ciders, the seating is comfortable and decor is railway orientated but there is also a great use of pump clips in the ceiling space highlighting the vast number of beers served to date. What's not to like, steam buffs or beer buffs, or anyone who just wants a nice pint in a friendly atmosphere will be glad they came.
