Has anyone been on the East lancashire Railway?

We're wanting to go on one of their 'Thomas' days tomorrow. Is Heywood the nearest station for Manchester? Is there parking near the station?
Thanks for reading.

Heywood and Bury are the same distance away from Manchester. Bury definitely has parking, don't know about Heywood.

Thanks TC.
DP doesn't agree with paying for parking so need to find somewhere free!

If I remember rightly the car park opposite the train station is free on a Sunday (normally pay and display). Parking shouldn't be a problem on a Sunday cost wise as most of the parking restrcitions are lifted. Those Thomas things do get very popular though.

Thanks Roboshua. Is that at Bury or Heywood?

Sorry. Bury.
