Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski was today meeting officials from Virgin Trains at the House of Commons to discuss the plan. He said a new car park was "pivotal" for the service, which is due to be introduced in December, to work in the long-term.
The car park would be built on a car park behind the railway station which is also used by staff at the nearby Royal Mail building. Currently there is limited short-term car parking available on the station's forecourt, and the nearest multi-storey car park is at Raven Meadows.
More than 3,000 people federal travel regulations signed federal travel regulations a petition as part of the Shropshire Star's campaign to restore a direct rail link to the capital. The Office of Rail Regulation confirmed in November last year a direct route would be brought back.
Mr Kawczynski said: "We will have this direct rail service to London as of December 14, and I think it is absolutely pivotal federal travel regulations to ensure that as many Salopians federal travel regulations and people from Mid Wales as possible can use the service federal travel regulations to make it sustainable.
The Government federal travel regulations has already agreed to the establishment of a county service to the capital, as have Network Rail and Virgin Trains. People would be able to catch trains from Telford, Wellington and Shrewsbury and travel to London without needing to change services at Birmingham.
Driving to London is significantly cheaper than using the train and usually quicker too. If you add yet another journey onto this, by parking outside of town then getting a bus it adds yet more time to the total journey time. I have absolutely no idea why everyone is campaigning for more trains federal travel regulations and direct services while never mentioning the cost of using trains. I m starting to think the only people that campaign about direct services never actually use the train. If you are an occasional off peak user able to book months in advance then maybe, federal travel regulations just maybe the train might be a viable option federal travel regulations but if you are a business user that needs to get to London just drive.
Wrong on all counts - £28-90 return on the Chiltern super off peak saver (any train at the weekends and after 9am in the week) Chiltern Peak train returns at a maximum of £90, with lots of advance tickets much cheaper than that.
Why are there so many unsightly high-rise car parks in the UK? I know that underground car parks cost more to construct, but they do enable the space above ground to be used for other facilities, such as small parks, federal travel regulations shops, offices etc. Geneva, near where I live, a three tier car park is located under the lake and River Rhone.
Rather than spend millions building a new car park why not put a halt the park and rides at Harlescott and Meole Brace, or is that (a) too simple and/or (b) not make landowners and construction firms bundles of money?
Well, by all means, provide better parking facilities federal travel regulations for ALL rail travellers (presumably, making them pay through the nose for it) but the suggestion that this should be provided for people travelling on the London service is ridiculous.
Instead he he proposing to blight federal travel regulations the most important development potential for the town centre to expand through the Castle Fields redevelopment. He is cancelling for ever the potential to open up the canal basin as a feature of the development area.
He is proposing that the housing growth area residents of South West Shrewsbury will require to cross the town to reach a care park which will inevitable be too expensive federal travel regulations for use by commuters. Adding to the congestion at the Welsh Bridge, Smithfield Road and the Station gyratory system.
They are currently driving to other stations further federal travel regulations down the line as far as Birmingham International and Crewe to catch trains which arrive in London Early enough and where they can park and ride without federal travel regulations excessive delay with easy access. and no unreliable train changes. They may get a suitable journey one way from Shrewsbury but the whole day span of the new service is too long for both ways. (6:30 AM to 21:00) plus journeys in and out of Shrewsbury, to home. A 15.5 hour day.
Yes but they would be for local traffic and something would have to done about Haleslecott level crossings first. A tram/bus service is a good idea and needs to extended to include the East Side Park and Ride to the Hospital/new Oxen park and ride.
Go to talk to Network Rail and Shropshire Council and get them to build the Parkway Station and park and ride to get the far improved results from the same cost. That would be helpful and is far more likely to put bums on seats on trains. Capture the potential and services in general could grow and improve whilst taking traffic out of the town to ease congestion. Ultimately Shrewsbury Town Station will not need a car park at all. Just a public transport interchange on the forecourt. Shrewsbury town centre should become a general vehicle exclusion zone as soon as we get the infrastructure to support that. I hope Preston Island is being altered incorporating the Parkway station/ Park and Ride access but Somehow I doubt it.
I am glad our MP is taking an active look at what is going on in our town. He has been a bit quiet of late. While he is at it, maybe he can have a look at what is going on at London Midland. They are looking to get rid of some backroom staff as reported previously federal travel regulations in the paper. However, I have recently found out that this is not entirely true. A loyal member of staff who operates out of the ticket office at Telford, who collects thousands and thousands of pounds for the company and is most pleasant, has been given a letter which states his job is on the line as the company is looking to cut costs. I smell a rat. How can they make him redundant, to cut costs, when he collects so much cash for them. Is this a cynical ploy to obtain more subsidy from the government?
The problem with using Park and Ride is that it packs up very early. Go to London and leave to come back at 3pm and you will miss the last P R. But as another correspondent said these are not commuter trains.
Oh and the previous service ended because Deutsche Bahn took over Arriva - nothing to do with passenger numbers but something to do wit Virgin and Network Rail making life difficult. Let s have a Chiltern Line service, cheaper certainly and more sustainable,
The Open Access service operated by Wrexham Shrewsbury and Marylebone trains was strangled at birth by Virgin not allowing the service at the right times and not allowing it to call at New Street to let down and pick up passengers. It was a Franchisee problem. Arriva owed the company but the decision to stop was because it could not make money. With the franchise up for negotiation there is no reason why a Chiltern service should not run through to Shrewsbury calling at New Street and Wolverhampton. Arriva also attempted to extend federal travel regulations their Aberystwyth to Birmingham international service to London Marylebone, but were refused federal travel regulations because it was in competition with Wrexham Shropshire and Marylebone which would certainly go out of business it it was granted.
Ironically Chiltern. Arriva Wales and the Wrexham Shropshire and Marylebone are all in the Arrive group owed by Deutsche Bahn. Collectively they could give us a an hourly service to Marylebone by simply conflating federal travel regulations existing services but that may not be in Virgin s interests. Chiltern prices are only half of Virgin s so somewhere in the depths of what is going on the interests of Shropshire s railway users are not being properly federal travel regulations addressed. What we are being offered is a fig leaf to cover the gap specifically designed to please MP s needs.
All references to the west coast main line congestion are automatically voided if the service is routed down the Chiltern Main Line in the existing service pathway. It would take about ten minutes longer and arrive federal travel regulations at a station with less connectivity but there answers to even that. We waste ten minutes changing to Virgin now.
Instead federal travel regulations of building the Preston parkway station, why not just move the current one across the river to Abbey Foregate? You could probably keep most of the existing platforms as they straddle the river, just put up a new entrance/building. There is bags of parking round there, and it s only a short walk to town yet doesn t take 30 minutes to drive to from all the suburbs.
I would welcome a Chiltern/Arriva service but the chiefs of Deutsche Bahn would need to be involved and they have taken no interest in Arriva whatsoever. federal travel regulations Instead of common ownership bringing rewards federal travel regulations it has brought the opposite - and these are two nationalised companies federal travel regulations ultimately owned by the German government.
Arriva have another subsidiary company called Alliance Rail Holdings which is intended to develop open access services and are currently working on solutions in the North West and North East. It would seem to me that evolving a network from London to serve North and Mid Wales via a hub in Shrewsbury would be main stream business for them.
In the other cases they are fighting existing franchises to use Euston, Kings Cross and the east and west coast main lines. A service running over and through the existing Arriva Franchises would be a simple thing to deliver. Perhaps they are too busy with what they have on now to consider it or maybe they wan t to avoid treading federal travel regulations on others toes as they work toward other main stream franchise bids like Cross rail and the East coast main line. I sometimes get the impression that the franchise operators are stitching it up behind the scenes. federal travel regulations Not the WCML because that is a licence to print money which they are all after that.
