As the build-up to the big day continues, it's not just the Shrewsbury Town football team that are in training.

The company will be moving as many seats in three hours as they would normally do in three days, and everyone is working overtime to ensure it goes without a hitch. For example, driver instructor Steve Roast, from sister company Chiltern Railways, is being trained to drive the route between Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury.

The recently inaugurated direct rail link with Shropshire and London has come as a big boost to the area and in particular Wellington. For the first time in many years it is possible to hop on a train at Wellington station and travel in some comfort direct to the capital.
