Shropshire Chamber of Commerce has described the closure of the county’s rail link to the West Midlands as ‘another damaging blow’ for the economy.

A landslip at Oakengates means the main line linking Shrewsbury and Telford to the Black Country will be closed for at least two weeks, and possibly longer.

“That’s one of the reasons we are urging rail operators to reverse their decision to close Shropshire’s direct service to London this summer. “We need reassurance from the Department for Transport that the repairs will be done as a matter of priority, and as quickly as possible.” “Any disruption to our rail service can only be detrimental to the ability of the Shropshire business community to generate economic growth for our region.”
