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.

Shakespeare Line Promotion Group

The Shakespeare Line Promotion Group (SLPG) 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 SLPG for £5 a year to keep up to date with what is going on along the line and play a part in what SLPG as a Rail Passenger Group says on behalf of train users and the local communities served by the railway. 

For more information about SLPG and to join them go to www.shakespeareline.com

FoSL is a non-profit organisation and operates independently of the Rail Passenger Group SLPG. 

Friends of the Shakespeare Line (FoSL) exists to proactively secure and support volunteers to enhance stations along the route providing social value by enabling and encouraging volunteering and wide benefit to communities.
