An excellent afternoon session spent at Shrewsbury Railway Station where we see plenty of services from Transport For Wales, West Midlands Railway and freight from Colas Rail.
This was my first ever visit to this station and I can safely say it won't be the last, it is a beautiful station situated in a lovely area of the country.
Shrewsbury station was opened in 1848 for what was the Shrewsbury to Chester line, the station was designed to mirror that of the Tudor buildings of the surrounding area. Inspiration came from the old school which is now the public library. One of the many charms of this station is that is sits over the River Severn. When it was opened it was first served by Great Western Railway and London Northwestern Railway.
Great Western Railway would serve the station up until 1967 (latterly BR Western Region) when they were running when it was running services from London Paddington to Birkenhead Woodside Railway Station.
Since the 1960's the station has been listed as Grade II which means no work can be done to the station unless its maintenance.
My next station will be Chester.
