Opened in the mid-nougthies, this is a Lloyds No.1 bar set beneath apartment accommodation. The name derives from the proximity of the pub to the former railway line that once served the area. A large space has been made to appear more initmate by cleverly breaking the space up with columns, artefacts and good lighting. Although set fair-square in the middle of a student area, this seems to attract a wide range of customer. As of late 2012, a keen manager has shied away from run-of-the-mill beers to concentrate on microbrewers products from the north west, and Yorkshire, such as Red Willow, Millstone, Phoenix, Thornbridge, Moorhouse's, Lancaster, Ilkley, and Lytham. Regular Wetherspoon festivals and offers.
