The railway station is located on Castle Gates, just north of the town centre. There are frequent services to Manchester, Wolverhampton, Birmingham and Crewe, and other services to Chester, Aberystwyth and Cardiff.

The famous Heart of Wales Line (http://www.heart-of-wales.co.uk/) runs between Shrewsbury and the sea-side city of Swansea, passing through some of Wales' most spectacular scenery and picturesque towns during its three hour and forty minute journey. Trains depart Shrewsbury at 5:34AM, 8:54AM, 1:09Pm. 5:29PM.

Access via the M54 from the West Midlands conurbation, then the A5 from Telford.

Note: train and bus services are very poor on Sundays, especially in Winter.

Get around
