BE prepared for the East Lancashire Railway's scouting Santa Special train which comes to town next month.

Scouts from groups across Bury will be throwing a party for all to enjoy aboard the specially hired "Bolton Scout" steam train on Saturday, December 16.

Entertainment, quizzes and refreshments are promised, with Santa bringing gifts for young and old alike.

The engine leaves Bolton Road station Bury at 7pm, travelling to Rawtenstall and back.
