Hey everyone, need help quick!

Ok so, i have a big interest in freight trains, any kind. I was wondering if anybody knows the times for which they go through Shrewsbury station? If anyone has any information it would mean alot to me, thanks!

Hi Steven welcome to the forum,Not much freight goes thorugh Shrewsbury to be honest i would head down to Crewe or even better Stafford stations for freight.

All the best,Ian

Defiantly Stafford even better if you have the chance to do an over night when warmer though.

If you're talking about Stafford, and you went during the afternoon on a weekday, then you could see around 15-ish in 3 hours, if last summer's anything to go by. Not much freight at all goes through Crewe station these days, most uses the avoiding line just to the west of Crewe station, but it's not much cop if you want to take photos. I'd definitely recommend Stafford!
Happy New Year!
