Rail Line Between Wolverhampton And Shrewsbury To Close For Nine Days
« on: October 04, 2006, 10:02:32 AM »
A railway line between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury is closing for nine days for engineering works (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/5403366.stm

New signalling is being installed between Codsall and Telford which , coincidentally , is very close to the site of a proposed new railfreight terminal (link below.)

It is also close to the Ironbridge Power Station (see map on Page 2 of the link below.)

The line from Ironbridge & Telford , via Codsall , to Wolverhampton is projected to acheive high - level tonnage growth to 2015 (Page 10 , Figure 9 of the link above.)
