Summary of timetable changes

Below is a summary of the changes. For full timetables, visit our timetables webpage .

  • We are introducing an additional hourly service between Birmingham and Shrewsbury which will operate Monday - Saturday.

  • The existing service will be diverted via Bescot, in readiness to serve new stations at Willenhall and Darlaston, which are expected to open in late 2025.

  • The new service will operate semi-fast, calling at Shifnal, Telford Central and Wellington, between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury.

  • This will provide a faster service to these key Shropshire towns, reducing journey times to and from Birmingham.

    • The 07:10 from Shrewsbury to Birmingham (all stations between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton) will run direct to Birmingham rather than Tame Bridge Parkway, to arrive at 08:21, which will provide a comparable journey time for commuters, to today’s timetable.

  • Journey times between Wolverhampton and Walsall will also be reduced (via a connection at Tame Bridge Parkway).

  • Journey times from Bilbrook, Codsall, Albrighton, Cosford and Oakengates will be longer, and departure times will also change from the previous timetable.

  • There will also no longer be a direct regular connection between Smethwick Galton Bridge and Bilbrook, Codsall, Albrighton, Cosford and Oakengates.
