The Wrexham & Shropshire Railway – one of the few independent, unsubsidised private railways, popular with its passengers because of its superb standard of service – cut its losses & closed down at short notice last week.
The service was owned by Deutsche Bahn, the German state-owned railway which despite the closure will retain ownership of the Wrexham train station whose refurbishment was financed with the aid of a £1 million grant from the Welsh government.
