Market Bosworth

Market Bosworth railway station was a former stop on the London and North Western Railway and the Midland Railway, who jointly owned and operated the line between Moira West Junction and Nuneaton as the Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway. A branch line also existed from Shackerstone to Coalville.
Note that Ashby-de-la-Zouch was not actually on the line but was a stop on the Midland line from Leicester to Burton.
The station was to the west of the town and served all the local farms for both outgoing cattle and incoming provisions and equipment.
The substantial goods shed was the centre for the majority of incoming/outgoing goods traffic for the whole area.
There was a small gas works on the opposite side of Station Road. It was probably supplied coal via the Ashby & Nuneaton canal but one written information source* suggests it was rail fed. Although no evidence of a private siding can be found we have chosen, for operational interest, to assume it was supplied by rail with the station down sidings used for exchange of gas works traffic.
Coal from local collieries was also marshalled at the station for onward shipment South.
Operation of the layout is by a sequence of moves that bring together traffic that could have been seen at the station over a period of days.
