WSMR Wrexham - London

[garnon]

I seek some advice please.

On Sunday (28th Feb), I wish to travel from Crewe to London, preferably by way of WSMR from Wrexham.

I hold the outward portion of a SVR return Manchester - London. (ignore the Manchester - Crewe bit as i be starting from Crewe)

Now i know i could join an up WSMR service at Tame Bridge at no extra cost (via Birmingham stations - i know this is probably not the technical phrase).

But if i want to join at Wrexham, what would my cheapest 'excess' option be to ensure i remain valid ??

Thank you.

Whilst the WSMR services are routed via Crewe, they're not advertised as calling there, so I would suggest that you'd need a ticket from Wrexham to Tame Bridge Parkway to satisfy Condition 19(b) of the National Rail Conditions of Carriage (i.e. the train calling at the station where you change from one ticket to the other) given Wolverhampton is a set down only stop heading South.

Cheers,

Barry

Are they? I thought they all went WRX-Chirk-Shrewsbury-Telford-Wolverhampton?

They were diverted via Crewe for a few weekends due to engineering work between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton.
