80080, 11.30 Heywood-Rawtenstall, Bury Bolton Street station Former British Railways Standard class 4 2-6-4T number 80080 arrives at Bury Bolton Sreet leading the 11.30 Heywood to Rawtenstall service. There were a lot of passengers waiting to board what was already a very busy train. The front three coaches were in use for a dining experience so effectively out of use for other passengers. Also, another coach was reserved for a coach party so that left everybody else to cram into the remaining four coaches. We struggled to find a seat and some passengers were forced to stand. Whilst it is encouraging to see heritage lines enjoying such good patronage visitors do pay premium prices for the experience, so, then to be treated like a weekday commuter might not go down too well!
