We have seven trustees who volunteer their time and commitment to help look after and attract funding for approximately 60 volunteers (station adopters) at the 22 stations along the railway route between Stratford upon Avon and Birmingham. Our Patron is Lord Digby Jones of Birmingham.

Friends of the Shakespeare Line (FoSL) is a Non-Profit Organisation.
Our object is: To support and sustain the voluntary activities of those engaged in adopting the railway stations along the railway routes between Stratford upon Avon and Birmingham, known as the Shakespeare Line.
We believe in positively contributing to the local community's wellbeing by enabling everyone to benefit from social value through a range of activities and enhancements at the railway stations along the 'Shakespeare Line' route.

The Shakespeare Line Rail User Group (SLRUG) is a long-established Rail Passenger Group of over 50 years that helped save the railway line between Birmingham and Stratford upon Avon from closure in 1969 and again in 1984. You can join SLRUG for £12 a year to keep up to date with what is going on along the line and play a part in what SLRUG as a Rail Passenger Group says on behalf of train users and the local communities served by the railway.
