Shrewsbury Railway Station is the busiest station in Shropshire, serving Shrewsbury town centre,…read moreit's a short walk up the hill to the main shops in the town. The station is classed as a C1 station and is managed by Transport For Wales, of which I travelled with on my journey to and from Manchester. While it is also served by Avanti West Coast and West Midlands Railway, it is mainly served by TFW. The majority of services pass through Birmingham New Street which is just over 40 miles from the station OR goes into Wales which is also a short distance from here. Only two trains a day into London, so if you're heading into the capital you might want to go into Crewe or Wolverhampton. Crewe is a pretty decent stop to head too if you are travelling further as this can be the stop along the way if heading to many cities including London, Liverpool or even Edinburgh. The station doesn't have much in terms of facilities, it does have a Starbucks alongside Platform 4 which is shut due to COVID-19 (Most Starbucks' locations in train stations seem to be shut so this is nothing new based on Manchester/Stockport/Liverpool etc), it has a waiting area right next to the lift, where it's a little warmer than the platform. Most of the station staff seemed a little friendly, there was one exception who seemed disinterested when I was struggling to scan my ticket at the barrier, but the platform staff were great. The layout can be a little confusing at first, I did struggle to find the Information Desk and this is one of the few stations to use letters in platforms (such as 4A/4B) FUN FACT: Despite having 5 platforms, it doesn't have a platform 1 or 2, the platform numbering goes between 3 and 7 - would love to find out why! Decent old station providing a useful purpose, satisfactory facilities, certainly not a bad station considering the population of Shrewsbury is just over 70,000. 3*

Twee enough building, but I really wasn't impressed with the staff. Yes, we'd all had a few, but we…read morewere 15 minutes early, and in no way unruly. There was a lot of I am big man from the station guards, and one made a comment on what I was wearing, and "Are you you sure you don't mean "blah" station love because you're friend is getting off at a diffferent one". There were a lot of cancelled trains, so they possibly had a lot of rubbish from annoyed people, but you'd hope it wasn't carried across!

The rooms were clean but basic, if you just need a bed for the night then you could do worse and at least the train station is right across the way and there is a bar and restaurant attached (The Euston Way). The rates are pretty good even last minute so its a good option if you are stuck for somewhere. Staff seem very helpful and apparently the rooms are quite quiet until the buses start early in the mornings.

I was very disappointed this time with my treatment by kinver travel having used their services…read moreseveral times in the past.I asked them if they could match the price I had been quoted by an online company named Travel Republic they said they could I contacted my wife to go and pay for the holiday approx. 2 hours later she arrived and was told it had suddenly gone up by £141.My wife thinking it must be correct but when she told me I checked 2 days later with the same company and it was still at the original price.Needless to say I found this suspicious.Never the less we have paid and we are going on holiday but for the last time with Kinver travel.

Used the restaurant only as I was staying at the International Hotel next door…read more The food was good, but I felt a bit pricey. I had the quail egg starter, about £5 The main was a sirloin steak, beautifully cooked, but I thought over priced at £19 A small glass of Chenin Blanc, followed by a small glass of Shiraz, then a large glass of Shiraz. All the wines were fine. Total cost £38. There was no table check, and ask if there was one normally, and was told it should be after 5 minutes. Angela apologised for this not happening. I found all of the staff very good and charming. I might think twice about eating there again given the price, but if I was visiting the International Centre (as I was this time), I'd stay here rather than The International Hotel. I was, however, able to charge it to my room in the other hotel, which I though was handy.
