Shrewsbury Railway StationA major project costing hundreds of thousands of pounds to improve Shrewsbury’s Grade I listed railway station could start early this year.

The plans include bringing platform three back into full use with a waiting room and a lift, improving signalling and general improvement to the station.

David Koring, Shropshire County Council rail officer, said he expected design work to start soon.

    Hear, hear, to Mrs. Scarret. Parking is very poor and access from the car park is ridiculous.
    It’s often easier to drive to Telford station!!

    Where do the people who suggest more parking so glibly suggest it should be sited ? I think the station wants a good clean up and litter removal from the tracks before any great amount of money is spent.
