The East Lancashire Railway offers ample opportunity to learn and practice the skills that are required for competent operation of locomotives, diesel units or on-track plant and machinery.
Providing comprehensive fixed signalling arrangements at key location, our railway is sufficiently well equipped to simulate those situations and conditions that a train driver or machine operator might encounter on the national rail network. We are also able to simulate conditions that enable drivers and operators to experience poor wheel/rail adhesion conditions under controlled conditions.
A section of our infrastructure is also approved for 100km/h operation for the purposes of driver/operator training and we can offer facilities for training on your own vehicles or those from our heritage fleet.
Classroom facilities can also be provided should a total training package be required.
