Shrewsbury!?

Yup. Shrewsbury.

I've been through plenty of times, going from Chester towards Birmingham or from Crewe towards Craven Arms (or vice-versa) but never actually had to change at Shrewsbury.

I've got plenty of others on the not visited list that you'd probably be equally shocked to hear too.

I think we should go station scratching together sometime

Next time I'm up in Manchester area is the 25th July (most likely on a Lancashire Day Rover to cover the 06:44 PSUL movement from Wigan North Western to Liverpool Lime Street via Newton-Le-Willows, and also the Todmorden curve.

And in early September time (initial idea is to visit some of the shacks to the east of Piccadilly (Hadfield line/Marples)

Fun that one, isn't it!

It is! I simply boarded a pair of winner trams at Man Vic and didn't think it would take so long to get to Mensal. When the tram stopped there it was 8 minutes until the next one back so I continued to Central park, then across the foot crossing at the far side of the platform to watch the tram I just got off leave over the bridge and my one arrive. It wouldn't be easy to make a tight connection there though!
