Summer Diesel Gala:
Gleaming diesel locomotives, gorgeous sun-drenched days (hopefully) and soothing summer evenings. See and ride behind your favourite engines from the ELR home fleet, and maybe even some special guests. Running an intensive all diesel timetable for three whole days. This is one of the most popular annual enthusiast events of the year.
Autumn Diesel Gala:
Another celebration of all things diesel powered, featuring iconic locomotives from this highly regarded home fleet. The event will see diesel services running an intensive passenger timetable throughout.
DMU Gala:
Fans of railcars won’t want to miss the annual diesel multiple unit gala. Usually seen supporting their larger cousins, this event sees the diminutive DMUs take centre stage. This event pays tribute to the post-Beeching era of British Rail in the 1970s and 80s, when the DMU was entrusted to operations across branch lines within the north west, and the daily commute to major centres including Preston, Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Victoria.
