Mark Pritchard, has asked for “community support” in his new campaign to get the rail track between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton electrified.
He says, the “medium term” plan will secure faster and more environmentally friendly services for Shropshire’s public transport future.
Mark said:
“The new direct link will use Voyager diesel trains but they are due to go out of service in 2019. Therefore, it makes sense to plan to electrify the Shropshire route, which will speed up the journey times and help improve the environment.”
