If you like historic steam trains, I recommend a ride on the East Lancashire Railway located in Bury, which is part of Greater Manchester and easily reached by the tram.
It's a short walk from the tram stop to the railway station. I bought tickets for an afternoon ride then went across the street to the Transport Museum, which I recommend.
As you can guess, it was Halloween the day I visited.
You can purchase food and drinks from the Café.
I took some 4K video on the ride from Bury to Rawtenstall. This video on my SuttonTravels YouTube channel is just under 5 minutes long.
Another video shows the train leaving the station--it's less than one minute.
They have a nice gift shop and friendly staff. I bought some items for my grandchildren.
