Wrexham & Shropshire railway to cease operations on Friday 28th January 2011.
It is with great regret that we announce that Wrexham & Shropshire will stop operating trains on Friday 28th January.
This very difficult decision has been taken following a full review of all possible alternatives, in which it was concluded that the business, which operates with no public subsidy, would not provide a return on investment.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your loyal and continued support. Without your assistance, our award winning service would not have been possible. We are very sorry that we have not been able to sustain it.
Until Friday 28th January trains will operate normally. The last train will be the 1830 from London Marylebone.
From Saturday 29th January, all Wrexham & Shropshire tickets already purchased will be valid on alternative routes into London Euston operated by Arriva Trains Wales, London Midland and Virgin Trains, and London Marylebone by Chiltern Railways.

If you have not yet booked a ticket for forthcoming travel, please be aware that you will need to book to travel with alternative train operators. You can book tickets for travel with other train companies via our sister company Chiltern Railways – please click here.
Our customer service centre will remain open to provide customer support. To contact them, email
[email protected] or telephone 0845 260 5200.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, our customers, for your loyal support.
