Company plans for new Shropshire to London rail service
A new train operator could bring back a regular direct link from Shropshire to London, 14 years after the shock closure of Wrexham & Shropshire Trains.
The new Wrexham, Shropshire and Midlands Railway Company (WSMR) is proposing to bring back a direct service to and from London in 2025.
The plan would see new, daily train services between Wrexham General and London Euston, serving existing rail stations at Gobowen, Shrewsbury, Telford Central, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Coleshill Parkway, Nuneaton and Milton Keynes Central.
WSMR intends to be an ‘open access’ train operator which is wholly commercial and does not require government subsidy.
