Blue Scrumpy left this review about Railway Inn
This was our 11th pub of a Chorley crawl, but was the first that couldn't accept my son. As such, I only had time for a very swift half. Being a Marston's pub, the ale range is limited to Wychwood Hobgoblin & Hobgoblin Gold & Marston's 61 Deep. My choice was the 61 Deep, which was ok, if not rushed out of necessity.
Looked a nice enough old boozer, which I didn't have enough time to explore. It is of course close to the railway and Chorley railway station.

Brainy Pool left this review about Railway Inn
A very traditional though opened out pub right next to the station (but of course). Seems to be owned by Marstons. Old Jennings signage remains outside. geared up for live music at one end of the pub, but it was a quiet place for a drink in the afternoon. Edith Piaf playing when I walked in was a very unexpected bonus. Really good pub.

This is a fairly decent boozer by Chorley train station. Basically open plan but with offset areas the pub has a very traditional feel to it. The servery is to your left, as noted, and to the right is a comfortable seating area. The six handpulls are still in use with beers still including Hobgob & Hobgob Gold, Bank's Sunbeam plus two Shipyard beers. The Shipyard Melonhead was good value at £2.30 a pint. I liked this pub.

For some reason Marstons have badged this as a Jennings pub even though it's nowhere near the Lake District. It's an old basic town pub with a single square room which is split into different areas with the L shaped servery to the left after you enter. There is a TV, a couple of dart boards, a jukebox and a pool area.
The bar has six hand pumps with one unused and the following five Marston beers Jennings Cumberland, Wychwood Hobgoblin & Hobgoblin Gold, Old Empire and Banks's Sunbeam. I went for the Old Empire (£2.95) which was in good nick and a very good price. While I wouldn't want to come here when a major sporting event was showing on a January Wednesday afternoon it exceeded expectations.

Good real ale good atmosphere intereting clients. Live music and Jamming sessions. Proper pub not a plastic imitation.Beware of some of the stronger beers.Can lead to you talking nonsense.

Great pint of Boondoggle. The live music looks interesting.
Plenty of people in on a Thursday afternoon. Good feel to the place, I will be heading back next time I am in Chorley.
