We are pleased that BR Standard Class 2, 78018 is with us at the Winter Warmer gala on 3rd/4th February! Thanks to the Loughborough Standard Locomotives Group, the Darlington Railway Preservation Society and the Great Central Railway. Timetable should be online by 30th January.
Betton Grange announcement: Unfortunately 6880 will not be appearing at the winter warmer Gala over the 3rd and 4th of February. We are very sorry to bring you this news, but it is beyond everyone's control. For more information go to battlefieldline.co.uk

Happy New Year to all of our followers. What have we got lined up for 2024? Announcements are coming.
Our Winter warmer steam gala is back with a new date! Make sure to leave 3rd & 4th of February 2024 clear in your diaries. The first confirmed loco is 5199, courtesy of the 5199 project. We look forward to seeing you at our first gala since 2019. More announcements coming soon.
Almost a sellout... Again...
With just two weeks to go before they begin this is the state of play regarding Santa Specials at the Battlefield Line. More details about booking the remaining places can be found here: battlefieldline.co.uk/santa
Why not wind down 2023 by travelling on one of the Mince Pie Specials which run from Thursday December 28th to Monday 1st January (battlefieldline.co.uk/product-page/m…) or how about a Festive Afternoon Tea on the 12.30pm train on New Years Eve (battlefieldline.co.uk/.../festive-af…).
Santa Specials begin at The Battlefield Line 3 weeks tomorrow - this could be your last chance to get on board. battlefieldline.co.uk/santa
Will the Silver & Gold all be gone by Halloween? That's the question. battlefieldline.co.uk/santa
Starting to fill up now. battlefieldline.co.uk/santa
Good morning from a soggy Shackerstone. Sadly due to floods in the local area, we've cancelled the 11am and 12.30pm departures today. This means we start with the 2pm service. Sorry for the inconvenience however this evenings pie and mash train will run as planned.
We're very grateful to our friends at the West Somerset Railway for releasing 5199 from its duties earlier than expected. 5199 should make its debut with us over the weekend of the 21st & 22nd of October. We must thank the 5199 project and the WSR for making this possible.
Latest availability at The Battlefield Line for the Santa Specials. What are you waiting for? They start 7 weeks tomorrow. battlefieldline.co.uk/santa
We are thrilled to announce that GWR 'Large Prairie' 5199 will be heading to The Battlefield Line Railway for our 2023 Christmas season. 5199 will be hauling the Santa Specials, as well as selected services between Christmas & New Year. battlefieldline.co.uk/santa

Crossed over the footbridge at Shakerstone station, now part of the @BattlefieldLine, on today’s walk. Originally opened in 1873, it closed in 1965. It’s now a heritage railway line. 🚂 🥾 #walk #walk1000mile #walking #getoutside #Leicestershire 🥾

@BattlefieldLine on Sunday I was lucky to have been treated,to a Footplate Experience, which was fantastic. I'd like to thank David and Richie who looked after me on the Footplate and a special mention to Geoff and Richard who looked after my family while I was driving.
Ffs….AGAIN! We desperately need action on this carelessness and crass driving. I know there are exceptions where there are good reasons….but this is far too common. Specialist SATNAV should be compulsory. It’s available and inexpensive. Enough is enough.
