PLANS to build a new station on the outskirts of Shrewsbury in a bid to reduce traffic in the town centre has emerged.
The idea for ‘Shrewsbury Parkway’ station has been put forward as part of a new transport strategy for the town centre. The proposal will be the subject of a public consultation which runs until March 22.
The new station, if built, would be east of the town, possibly near where the A5 and A49 intersect at Battlefield roundabout where there is land for a two-platform station with extensive car parking.
