Alas, Wrexham and Shropshire will be operating only three trains a day from the new timetable which starts on Sunday 12th December. Worse, Tame Bridge Parkway loses its afternoon departures!
New times out from Tame Bridge are 06.41 (arr London Marylebone 08.57) and 09.02 (arr London Marylebone 11.15). Trains from London Marylebone are at 09.24 (arr Tame Bridge Parkway 11.41), 16.30 (arr Tame Bridge Parkway 18.39), and 18.30 ((arr Tame Bridge Parkway 20.39).
The good news is that fares remain a bargain... Walk-on First Class return is £120 and includes a full meal, Wi-Fi, and truly comfortable surroundings (not mention the fantastically helpful staff), whilst a Walk-on First Class single is £70. Compare and contrast with Virgin's Pendolino offering - speed isn't everything!
So if you live in North or North-West Birmingham, give the W&S a try. The SatNav for Tame Bridge Parkway is WS10 0LD, buses from Walsall and West Bromwich do pass it, and of course LondonMidland local services from Rugeley and Walsall run through it.
