WSMR & Leamington Spa

[saracen43]

I hear that Wrexham & Shropshire in the near future will be stopping at Leamington Spa.

Can anyone tell me if this is true and when will it commence?

Started with the timetable change on December 13th...As did Banbury becoming a "full" calling point.

Cheers,

Interesting that the NRES website insists that WSMR will be, from Dec 13th, "calling at Banbury and Bicester". I think somebody got their wires crossed!

Isn't that the electrified West Coast Mainline?

bad news for wsmr and atw

the sarpa (shrews to aber website) stated that if they electrify wolves to shrews then no diesel units will be allowed east of shrews.

does any1 have more info on tht

Sounds like nonsense to me, so how you going to run a Cambrian service ?? start it at Shrewsbury or Crewe ?? cutting your nose off to spite your face if you ask me.

 

[robert2000]

well arriva will have more stock to use elsewere. they lose the shrews to brummy route, plus they might lose the chester to crewe route aswell. im not sure if its been confirmed about tht line getting electrified yet though.

 

[Proud Salopian]

The Shrewsbury-Wolverhampton line won't be electrified for a long, long time... :roll:

 

[robert2000]

well i dont think a railway website would lie to people.

Passenger rail user groups often take press releases from government etc. as gospel.

They need a bit of cynicism.
