User:Badwolf 83/Burton & Ashby Light Railway

The Burton and Ashby Light Railway was a Tramway system built by the Midland Railway Company(MR).

The Tramway operated between the Staffordshire brewery town of Burton upon Trent, and the Leicestershire town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

The Tramway was possibly unique in that with 11 1/2 miles of track, it passed throught three English counties.

The companies Depot and offices were built (and still exist) in Midland Road, Swadlincote, Derbyshire. This being the centre of the system.
