	Avon Valley Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The railway is part of the otherwise dismantled LMS branch line from Mangotsfield to Green Park station, Bath, which was closed during the Beeching Axe of the 1960s as the Great Western Railway a few miles to the south also connected Bristol to Bath.
		The railway is run by a local group, the Bitton Railway co., based in Bitton station, which they acquired in 1972.
		The railway shares its route with the Sustrans cycleway and footpath, the Bristol and Bath railway path (part of NCR 4).

	The Battlefield Line Railway
		In 1873, the London North Western Railway and the Midland Railway opened a joint line between Moira West and Nuneaton.
		The line became known as the Ashby Nuneaton Line despite the fact that the town of Ashby itself wasn't on the joint line.
		Instead the joint line was on the Midland's Burton - Leicester, with a link to the joint line by a triangular junction at Moira and near Coalville where it also allowed access to the Charnwood forest railway that terminated at Loughborough Derby Road Station.

	Tourist and Enthusiast Railways - East Midlands
		The proposed line would run from a new terminus near Ogston Reservoir (which covers part of the original trackbed) to Ashover Butts, about 2½ miles (4 km).
		The line as far as the junction with Network Rail in Loughborough (5½ miles, 8.9km) is owned by GCR(N) and sees a regular freight service, but only occasional passenger trains.
		Eventually it is hoped to extend the line northwards to Waltham and southwards to Louth, giving a total length of about 9 miles (14.5 km).

	Steam Locomotives of The Battlefield Line Railway
		It is no stranger to passenger work as daily workman’s trains consisting of a very fine Midland Railway coach, similar to our No.2540, operated between the works and Irlam BR station 2 miles distant, until the late 1950’s.
		Use of the railway had ceased by 1966 when both locos were sold to the Dunlop Rubber Co. Ltd., Birmingham.
		At a later date he was joined by another Sentinel locomotive, number 9596 George, which was named after George Baker, a senior scientist at Grimsby at that time; this locomotive had been built in 1955 for use in Courtaulds' Flint works.

	Battlefield Line Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The railway used to be part of the London and North Western Railway and the Midland Railway, who operated the line jointly between Moria West Junction and Nuneaton.
		In 1883, the Charnwood Forest Railway was opened, which extended the branch from Coalville Junction to Loughborough's Derby Road station, passing through the villages of Whitwick and Shepshed.
		Confusingly, part of the line was called the Bluebell Railway, not to be confused with the line of the same name in Sussex.

		Rocks and boulders from here were used for various battlefield monuments, bridges, roads, steps, flank markers and even the roadbed for the trolley.
