One of the latest films is a walk from Burscough Bridge station to Martin Mere Wetland Centre. The film follows the route taken via a permissive footpath alongside the railway line and across lovely countryside to reach the Wetland Centre without having to walk on a busy road.

You can view the film on the YouTube link below and to see this and many other short films click the links here Lancashire By Rail/ or Films & Videos/
