A beloved miniature railway in Bolton has been forced to close after thieves ‘ripped apart’ and stole the track - causing around £20,000 worth of damage in the process.
The miniature railway in Moss Bank Park has been a popular attraction for families since the 1970s, with volunteers and residents coming together throughout the pandemic to rebuild the track and get it back into action.
The half-mile railway, which volunteers say had just reopened eight weeks ago, was targeted by thieves on Friday morning (June 3) who stole aluminum metal tracks and caused further damage to the site.
