I found some interesting (& some odd ) easements in the Routeing Guide:

Presumably this would help tickets to Shrewsbury from Euston, as the Route Birmingham tickets are cheaper than "any permitted" (but the online booking engines only show the any permitted fare if you select via Crewe
I don't understand this one:
How else do you go from Church Stretton to Crewe if not via Shrewsbury ???
Another odd one:
Again how to you get there if not via Stevenage??!
