GBG 2024 pub and from the beer board, you can see they take their beers seriously. Nothing wrong with the quality.

Enter into a porch and have the choice of two bars - I went right, into a lounge. Oval bar separates the back drinkers bar.

Looked at the beers. Ordered an Ossett White Rat. Came here to see if anyone else thought £5 for a pint of cask in Oldham was expensive.

Trains only run hourly - so I was forced to stay for a second. I asked if all the beers on the board were on to be told "yes". Except the Boltmaker. And the Landlord.

Another White Rat it was.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Railway

A fine looking pub from the outside, but disappointingly a bland and featureless interior. We visited here on a late Saturday afternoon, hoping the place had quietened down. They call this train line the "real ale train line" thanks to Oz Clark and James May back in the day. Unfortunately the majority of the drinkers were hens and stags getting blotto on lager and wine. This pub also offers the drinkers plastic glasses so they can take their drinks on to the station platform and onto the train. Still it's keeping the pub open, I suppose, so good luck to them. Six pumps, with four in use on our visit, we did spot a locale, which was from Donkey stone Bad Ass Blonde, which was fine.

Visited around midday on a weekday in November 2017. Two pumps at the left bar and six on the right. Two were off. A half set me back £1.50. I had the Wherry by Woodforde's, a bitter which I think was not in the best of condition. Slightly hazy and had a bit of a strange sour taste to it. On my previous visit I had the Pippin by GreyHawk which was in tip top condition and very enjoyable, so maybe I was just unlucky on my more recent visit. I didn't make a note of the ales available but I think there were a couple of national brands on plus a poppy themed charity ale. Pub was very quiet on both my visits, but I daresay it is not always like that.
