MP calls for progress on Oswestry to Gobowen railway
North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan has called for the Government to “get the wheels turning” on restoring the Oswestry to Gobowen railway link.
Oswestry currently has no railway station despite being the area's largest town, with residents having to rely on services from nearby Gobowen to get onto the main line.
Mrs Morgan says residents are also having to put up with often "unreliable" buses not running during evenings or Sundays.
Now the MP is following up her earlier calls to the Secretary of State for Transport to move ahead with planning for the scheme, which would reconnect Oswestry to the railway line for the first time since the Beeching cuts.
