    Battlefield line. OK but looks a little run Down. Cost Β£50 for two adults and a 3 and 4 year old on a January steam gala. Worth a visit but needs a tidy up. Good food service on the train.

    Station at the edge of the village on a restored heritage steam line. Lovely volunteer staff on the platform along with tea and cake. Well worth a stop off.

    First visit to this heritage railway. Went to see C&R No 419 which normally based in Scotland. Wasn't disappointed. Facilities here are a bit limited especially at Market Bosworth Station but if you like railways there's enough to see to make up for it.

    We have visited the line many times, usually with visiting friends. This visit was our first for a year or so. It is an attraction that brings home history and the way we lived many years ago and shows the importance of rural transport. Its a fun place to visit whether your into railways or not. Lovely countryside with many places to visit traveling by train for a good day out.

    We broke our train journey here and we were pleased that we did! For anyone interested in old trains there is plenty to see. From the old station yard we could see a fascinating line of derelict diesel shunters in a siding. Friendly, welcoming staff were explaining that the new station buffet is soon going to be housed in two carriages. This rural station is obviously a "job in progress".

    Popped for a look. We were greeted by a rude man and dogs telling us to leave we can't be here. Said there is a sign saying closed. There wasn't. If you're closed put a sign up don't be rude.

    The line runs from Shackerstone to Shenton via Mk,Bosworth. There is a cafe and a museum at Shackerstone, at Shenton there is a cafe, glass blowing and a pottery, it's also on the battle field walk which passes the station.

    Nipped in here today to visit the cafe and have a look round. Saw what looked like a goods shed all locked up . Don’t know if the place was open or shut to be honest. Did see loads of cool old wagons in the sidings though. Not worth a revisit though.
