The Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury Line is the railway line from Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury via Wellington; it was originally built by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway. The line is double track throughout, with rarely used relief sidings at Cosford and 4 tracks through Wellington station. Electrification from Stafford Road Junction to Oxley, is provided solely to enable electric stock to access Alstom's Oxley TRSMD, and is therefore constructed as a "tram wire" suitable for low speeds only. Signalling is centred at Madeley Junction. Towards Wolverhampton, the West Midlands Signalling Centre, Oxley Workstation, takes over (previously Oxley signal box until it closed on Saturday 27 November 2010 under the West Midlands Resignalling scheme) and towards Shrewsbury, ''Abbey Foregate'' signal box. == Route == The towns and villages served by the route are listed below, East to West. * Wolverhampton (City of Wolverhampton) - 6 platforms * Bilbrook (Staffordshire) - 2 platforms * Codsall (Staffordshire) - 2 platforms * Albrighton (Shropshire) - 2 platforms * Cosford (Shropshire) - 2 platforms * Shifnal (Shropshire) - 2 platforms * Telford Central (Telford and Wrekin) - 2 platforms * Oakengates (Telford and Wrekin) - 2 platforms * Wellington (Telford and Wrekin) - 3 platforms * Shrewsbury (Shropshire) - 5 platforms ''(numbered 3 to 7)'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
