Railways: Telford
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential economic impact of introducing a direct train from Telford to London.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
No assessment has been made of the economic benefit of introducing a direct train from Telford to London. Since June 2024, Telford Central has had a regular fast service every 30 minutes to and from Birmingham New Street that provides good onward connections to and from London Euston, and journey times of as little as 2 hours 20 minutes.
