Shrewsbury residents call for 'dangerous' traffic diversion to end

Disgruntled Shrewsbury residents faced with thousands of diverted vehicles rumbling past their doors say it "has to stop".

Firefighters from two counties were called to reports of a house fire which turned out to be a false alarm caused by burning breakfast.

Some 86.4% of stops at stations were made within a minute of the schedule between April and July, the Office of Rail and Road said.

Fares are set for another increase in January despite the pandemic resulting in lower-than-normal passenger numbers.
