The Battlefield Line

The Battlefield Line The Battlefield Line is a heritage railway running from Shackerstone to Shenton, via Market Bosworth.

Welcome to the Battlefield Line Railway

In August 1873 the Midland and London North Western railway companies opened the Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway. Today, over 147 years later, it is the headquarters of the Battlefield Line and the home of the Shackerstone Railway Society. The Society operates the railway from Shackerstone Station, via Market Bosworth, to Shenton, the site of the famous medieval Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
