Welcome to the ShakespeareLine.com website, which aims to promote
travel along The Shakespeare Line - the railway line between the City of Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon.
Stations along this line serve the City’s shopping and business
districts, urban suburbs, market towns, rural communities
and Stratford-upon-Avon’s international visitor centre and
facilities.
The Shakespeare Line offers
residents and visitors quick, convenient and economical
travel for business, leisure and educational purposes.
Shoppers, in particular, find the trains a quick and easy
way to get to the Birmingham, Stratford and Henley markets
and for other shopping outings.
The
route is relatively unusual as it is used by regular modern
diesel services and seasonal heritage steam train operations.
Over 2 million passengers per annum use the stations between
Stratford and Small Heath, with many of those people using
Birmingham Moor Street and Snow Hill stations travelling
to and from other Shakespeare Line stations.
In addition, many thousands of adults and children each
Summer enjoy the unique experience of mainline steam train
travel on the famous Shakespeare Express. |
