With a minimum of fanfare (I have seen no publicity), today a new railway company was born.
Wrexham & Shropshire started running passenger services today. Trains do what they say on the tin - offering a direct service from Wrexham & Shropshire to London Marylebone.
Currently the timetable has five return trains on each weekday, four on a Saturday and three on a Sunday.
Train politics mean that you cannot get on a train from Banbury to Marylebone (or from Marylebone to Banbury) - you have to use Chiltern Railways services instead.
I wish the new venture well - any new service has to be welcomed.
Trains have been running empty for a month for driver and route training, so hopefully today's niggles will soon be ironed out. There were unfortunately a couple of serious delays today, but I doubt that many people were affected.
