Shropshire businesses seek improved rail connections to support operations and local economy.

According to a Midlands Connect report, Shropshire businesses are calling for improved rail connections to support their operations and local economy. They believe investment in rail infrastructure can unlock employment opportunities, support sustainability targets, attract visitors, and open up new markets. Proposed improvements include rail electrification and a new hourly train to London from Shrewsbury. Local MP Shaun Davies and Shropshire Council Leader Lezley Picton support the proposal, which could lead to more people using trains and less reliance on cars.
