From North Wales newsboards. http://www.nwrail.org.uk/nwnews.htm

From 23 May 2010 W &S will be 'making First Class travel even more affordable' with a new First Class flexible return fare of £120 Available between London Marylebone any W&S-served stations north of Cosford. This is a flat fare with no peak supplements, and you can return anytime within 30 days of purchase. It includes, as always with W&S first class, a two-course meal freshly cooked on-board, and WiFi access and power sockets at every seat. The advance-purchase first class fares have also been reduced: see the W&S website for details.

On From 23 July until 4 September W&S will be running additional services between London and Shrewsbury. 20:03 from Marylebone to Shrewsbury (arr 23:13) on Fridays only, and 09:07 from Shrewsbury to Marylebone (arr. 12:15) on Saturdays only. See their timetable page for full details. The company tell us they would have liked to run to Wrexham (and indeed this appears to have been published in some sources) but the two secure overnight stabling sidings there are already occupied by trains. When the extra train ran at Easter and was left in once of the platforms at Wrexham, it had to be manned all night.
