Railway opened in 1848 as the East Lancs railway running from the Manchester-Bolton line to Bury, then on to Rawtenstall. By WW2 the line had been electrified from Manchester to Bolton and Bury. It was threatened with closure in the Beeching Report, but reprieved. It was eventually taken over to a new Bury station by the Manchester Metrolink services. This left Bury (Bolton Street) station free after 1980 for the East Lancs heritage railway to take over the line, which ran its first trains in 1987.
