Trevor Alison is a genius when it comes to bus and train services and has kindly offered to help anyone needing to book a seat - do book in advance as buying a ticket on the day would mean you could not afford a fortnight`s holiday - slight exaggeration, but it is very expensive.

Message from Shrewsbury Tourism & Shropshire Star.
One assumes this service runs to and from Euston - although the information does not think this important, `LONDON` is a very big place!! I can`t find out the price but then I am rubbish at looking things up on the web!
