Our statement on resubmitting our application to the Office of Rail and Road (ORR)
Wrexham, Shropshire & Midlands Railway (WSMR) is a proposed new open access operator.
Our aim is to provide new connectivity between the North Wales, the Midlands and London. Developed to offer passengers choice and new connectivity which is in the ‘spirt’ of Open Access’ original intent.
Update 27 July 2026 – Thank you to everyone for your continued support of our application.
We continue to work closely with Network Rail and other stakeholders as part of the regulatory process, reviewing capacity allocation on the network and supporting the information required for the application.
We remain committed to bringing new rail services to the communities we aim to serve as soon as possible and are grateful for the ongoing support we continue to receive.
