Telford MP David Wright today raised the loss of Shropshire's direct rail link to London in Parliament as county politicians united to try to save it. Mr Wright urged Minister of State for Transport Theresa Villiers to meet with MPs over the issue as he told her how valued the service was to people living in the county. His comments to the Minister in the Commons came as Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski said he would be appealing to the Department for Transport to secure a future for the service. It is set to finish tomorrow after a shock announcement from train company Wrexham & Shropshire. The only way of saving it is by getting another operator to take on the franchise.
