Wrexham and Shropshire Train Service Information
Wrexham & Shropshire is the operating name of the Wrexham, Shropshire and Marylebone Railway Company, a train operating company in the United Kingdom. The company operates passenger train services from Wrexham (in North Wales) via Shropshire to London on an open-access basis, with its agreement for a seven year period from December 2007. Wrexham & Shropshire began running services on 28 April 2008. The main purpose of the company is to restore direct services between London and Shropshire
From Wrexham General, the route runs via Chirk, Ruabon and Gobowen (near Oswestry) to Shrewsbury, then via Wellington, Telford Central and Cosford to Wolverhampton. From Wolverhampton, the service has the major obstacle of Birmingham to circumvent: it is routed via and calls at Tame Bridge Parkway. Services then continue via New Street and Tyseley or Birmingham International and Coventry, before joining the Chiltern Main Line at Leamington Spa. Trains then call at Banbury and finally London Marylebone.
Under the terms of Wrexham & Shropshire's Track Access Contract, trains will not be permitted to call at Coventry or Leamington Spa. However, the agreement does allow for WSMR trains to serve Birmingham International, but the company's timetable does not include this. However, services do call at Tame Bridge Parkway, a station with a substantial car park and good bus services, with the additional benefit of providing Walsall with a direct service to London.
