There are two options at 17:25 and 18:10, and takes about 45 minutes to get to the East Lancs Railway stop that is a few minutes from the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Otherwise take a tram to Bury, then walk 2 minutes to Bury Interchangefor a 472 or 474 bus (<a href=\"https:\/\/assets.ctfassets.net\/nv7y93idf4jq\/4TcRNylVSInQsPQfwqpi7b\/d0701d63e0ada78d19487dbae23c34ff\/472__474_24-SC-0200.pdf\">timetable here<\/a>) for 20 minutes to the East Lancs Railway stop, then walk a few minutes to the ground. The 472\/474 buses alternate and leave Bury regularly between every 10 and 20 minutes in the evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coming back, you&#8217;ll need to reverse the route via Bury as the X41 doesn&#8217;t run late on Tuesdays. There&#8217;s a 472 at 21:57, otherwise the 472 and 474 run at 30 minute intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meeting points\/pub<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/irwellworksbrewery.co.uk\/\">Irwell Works Brewery<\/a> in Ramsbottom itself is a fan favourite, with a great range of beers and pies at the bar. It&#8217;s less than 10 minutes from the ground. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.railway-ramsbottom.co.uk\/\">The Railway<\/a> is a good option too, is much closer to the ground and also serves more substantial pub grub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are pies at the ground, though you might be better getting something to eat in Ramsbottom itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u26a0\ufe0f Cash only accepted on the gate, and in the ground.
