After lacking a direct rail service to London for nearly 20 years, a new company, the Wrexham, Shropshire & Marylebone Railway company is starting one at the end of this month from Wrexham. The trouble is that because of prior agreements between Railtrack and Virgin, this new company will not be allowed to stop at Birmigham New Street. Instead, the stop for Birmingham will be at Tame Bridge Parkway, a station I had never heard of before.
How much use is this station as a stop for Birmingham? Can you get connections from here to New Street or other services? Can you easily get from this station to the centre of Birmingham?
