Train times on a key line linking Shropshire and the Black Country change this weekend.

WMR says the diversion is ahead of new stations at Willenhall and Darlaston being opened in late 2025. The first semi-fast WMR service, only stopping at Wellington, Telford Central and Shifnal before reaching Wolverhampton, leaves Shrewsbury at 6.51, getting to Wolverhampton at 7.30am and New Street at 7.52am, before another slow train calling at all stations leaves at 7.10am,.
