The MP has renewed her calls for Oswestry to be reconnected to the national rail network.
Oswestry railway station lost its connection to the mainline in the 1960s
The restored railway would connect Oswestry with the mainline station at Gobowen, with a business case proposing a very light rail connection that would stop at the Orthopaedic Hospital. She has given her full backing to the bid to re-establish the Oswestry-Gobowen line and urged Rail Minister Huw Merriman to back the bid.
“We submitted that bid in September, it's an excellent bid and I wonder if the Minister would be able to update me as to when we might hear about the outcome of that bid and, ideally, whether he'll be supporting that bid to restore the connection between Oswestry and Gobowen.”Rail Minister Huw Merriman responded: “The Restoring Your Railway program is delivering on eight lines and another 32 are in business case or other progression.
