Brief: Avanti West Coast operated a single train from London to Shrewsbury in each direction every day. Take control of the southbound morning departure at Birmingham New Street; calling at Birmingham International, Coventry, Rugby, Milton Keynes Central and Watford Junction. Your timings are generous considering you’re on the WCML during the morning peak.

London to Shrewsbury services would be withdrawn just a few weeks later.
