Encyclopedia > Shrewsbury railway station

Shrewsbury railway station is Shrewsbury's only remaining railway station (Shrewsbury Abbey, as well as all the other small stations around the town, having long closed). Originally built in 1848, the station is unusual in that it was extended by the construction of a new floor underneath the original station building. The station today has five platforms, numbered 3 to 7 (as 1 and 2 are out of use permanently), with a public ticket office, public enquiry office, British Transport Police offices, a platform cafe (between platforms 4 and 7) and some offices for some of the railway companies that use the station. Platforms 3,4 and 7 are through platforms, usually used for trains for Chester, Crewe and Cardiff. Platforms 5 and 6 are bay platforms, used mainly for trains to Aberystwyth and Birmingham. The platforms are connected by a tunnel running underneath the station, rather than the more usual (for a British railway station) bridge running overhead.
