About Battlefield Line Railway

The three stations on the Battlefield Line Railway are Shenton (an award winner), Market Bosworth and Shackerstone, the latter of which is the HQ station where you'll find the loco shed and main rolling stock plus their Victorian Tea Room, Historic Museum and Souvenir Shop.

The museum at The Battlefield Line Railway is a tresure trove of artefacts spanning nearly 200 years and you'll find yourself mesmerised by the sheer number of items on show, many with a local link.

  • Heritage steam & diesel train journeys through the Leicestershire countryside

    There’s so much more to see and do on the Battlefield Line than first meets the eye. Climb aboard one of our trains and you’re transported back in time on an historical journey, courtesy of a country railway in the heart of rural England.

  • A great range of special events throughout the year

    The yearly calendar is packed full of events, with steam & diesel train galas, fish & chip trains, a railway model show, real ale festival, Mother & Father's day services plus our hugely popular Santa Specials to round off the year (now a sell-out 4 years in a row!). Head over to our website now to see the next event...

  • Enjoy the sights & smells of British engineering

    With various steam and diesel trains in operation, this is a great chance to get up close to some of the very best British engineering from the last 200 years. Nothing comes close to the smell of steam from an original locomotive.
