Shackerstone railway station, Heritage railway station and museum in Shackerstone, United Kingdom.

The Shackerstone railway station operates as the headquarters of the Battlefield Line, featuring Victorian architecture and extended platforms for passenger service.

Opening in 1873 as part of the Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway, the station received a Grade II listed building status in 1989 for its architectural value.

The Victorian tea room within the station building maintains the traditions of British railway refreshment rooms from the nineteenth century.

The station contains a museum displaying railway artifacts, a gift shop selling memorabilia, and provides free parking spaces near the Ashby Canal.

A raised section on platform one, known as the platform hump, marks where King Edward VII encountered difficulties exiting the royal train in 1902.
