The Battlefield Line, Market Bosworth Compare with this similar view taken 14 years earlier: <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/590450">SK3903 : The Battlefield Line, Market Bosworth</a>. The permanent way looked in better condition then. All heritage lines suffered badly in the pandemic crisis with no revenue, volunteer labour stood down and paid staff likely to be furloughed.

Market Bosworth Station Compared with this scene from five years earlier <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5319180">SK3903 : Market Bosworth Station in Leicestershire</a>, Market Bosworth Station is looking a little down-at-heel. In fact the intermediate station on the Battlefield Line is currently closed, with trains running through non-stop, probably as a result of Covid-19 disruption. The first vehicle in the siding is a former British Rail mark III coach.
