The Battlefield Line (Shackerstone to Shenton)

We know it's only the start of summer, but something rather festive is now available to book... battlefieldline.co.uk/santa

This weekend we are in England's capital city. Our Battlefield Line Models team will be at The London Festival with our biggest exhibition stand to date. Come along to stand 36 (next to the Mostyn layout), grab the latest models and help support railway preservation too.

This weekend at the Battlefield Line. More details and timetables for both days can be found here: battlefieldline.co.uk/winter-gala

We have CCTV footage and the police have been in attendance today, but if anyone locally is offered some cheap frozen turkeys suspiciously, please get in touch!

Only 2 more days until our next Santa Special departure! Though, all is not well at the Battlefield Line Railway at present as it seems the Grinch visited last night and broke into one of our stations, taking a large amount of festive fayre intended for this weekends trains.

We are now just a couple of days away from our first Santa Specials departing from Shackerstone Station. This year, we have something new in our booking hall...

With less than a fortnight to go before the Santa Specials begin for 2024 - this is how availability looks at the moment. If you're planning on joining us - act NOW. In fact stop reading this and go to santatrain.co.uk before it's too late. Are you still here??

Lest We Forget

With the final dining train of 2024 in the rear view mirror it's full steam ahead towards the Santa Specials at The Battlefield Line. Currently still a chance to see the man himself on Christmas Eve!
