Birmingham to Wrexham? Really? I disagree. There is a direct service every 2 hours taking 1h 36m. An Off-Peak return is £14.20 - quite a bargain! According to Google, driving also takes 1h 36m, with a distance of 70.5 miles. And according to "Choozer", on a 40mpg petrol car that would cost £22 return. So the car is
more expensive, even though you have to concentrate the whole time!
And Shrewsbury to London? Perhaps. Annoyingly, the following option...
- Shrewsbury [07:46] to Crewe [08:24]
- Crewe [08:29] to London Euston [10:04]
...taking under 2h 20m is
not permitted because Crewe has a ridiculous minimum connection time of 10 minutes! I really am starting to think that Shrewsbury to London connections should be centred around Crewe - not Wolverhampton.
