Was this the line that ran into Knowsley Road at Bury? Would have made a great Metrolink extension!

Yes it was, there is a local group I think in Bolton campaigning for its reopening. I remember speaking to Fed Dibnah once at Ramsbottom, and he said its a Bloomin joke that they ever shut that line! I agree, a Metrolink extension would be most useful there!

Hi

A lot of those photos are out of focus, I reccomend you take more time to make sure the shots are in focus, as they are difficult to see properly. A nice set of photos of a line I know nothing about though, although I trust you didn't tresspass in the making of these pics
