Shrewsbury is the county town of Shropshire, situated on the [[River Severn]]. Shrewsbury station, formerly known as 'Shrewsbury General', is a major junction between various [[Great Western Railway|GWR]] and LNWR routes, and was the Northern northern terminus of the [[The Severn Valley Railway under GWR/BR ownership|Severn Valley Railway]], which connected it to [[Bridgnorth]], [[Bewdley]] and [[Hartlebury]]<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrewsbury_railway_station Wikipedia - Shrewsbury Railway Station]</ref>.

Shrewsbury was the Northernmost northernmost station on the Severn Valley Line until the cessation of passenger services between [[Bewdley]] and Shrewsbury and closure of the line North north of [[Alveley Colliery]] in 1963. The SVR line diverged from the Shrewsbury-Hereford line at [[Sutton Bridge Junction]], which still exists today as the junction for the former Cambrian Railways line to Aberystwyth and Pwllheli <ref name="semaphores">David J.
