Due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time between Shrewsbury (SHR) and Crewe (CRE):
We expect the incident to last until 07:23 on 21/09/2026 and disruption to services is expected from 21:00 until 07:23 on 21/09/2026.
What's Happened?
Due to a shortage of trains at Machynlleth Depot, we have fewer trains available to run today's service. Some services between Shrewsbury and Crewe will be disrupted.
Our engineers are working hard to bring trains back into service as quickly as possible. We apologise for any disruption caused to your journey.
