Travel (from Rose Hill via Guide Bridge and Hyde) to Manchester for lunch

Then a shuttle up to Salford Crescent to pick up the Bolton train.

Helpful station staff at Bolton gave us information about the stations history, including the unique brickwork style, and more info on the electrification works progress.

Shame they (the company not the platform staff) cant be bothered to weed the ballast as the station has retained some of its character and charm.
