Oswestry Station Building

News and Progress

21st. May. 2005

As reported in the News section, Oswestry Borough Council along with Advantage West Midlands' Rural Regeneration Zone, the European Regional Development Objective II Programme and the Market Town Initiative programme, have acquired Oswestry Railway Station and have now started a multi-million pounds refurbishment project. As can be seen in the attached picture, work is proceding at a pace, and once finished will help regenerate this side of Oswestry Town centre and hopefully enable us to once more run trains into the site of the headquarters of the Cambrian Railways.

As part of the refurbishment, space has been allowed to reinstate the bay platform next to the Staiton building. This will enable a service from Oswestry to Gobowen to be run, some time in the future.

With the building in the background, the position of the bay platform can easily be seen.

Further news and pictures will be posted here during the refurbishment project.
