Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road |
Prees railway station serves the village of
Welsh Marches Line. It was opened by the Crewe and Shrewsbury Railway
in 1858.
The station has two platforms and trains only stop here upon request. It is managed by Transport for Wales.
Facilities
It is unstaffed and has no ticketing provision - tickets must be bought on the train or prior to travel. The old buildings that once stood here have been demolished (as has the
signal box following resignalling work in 2013) and only standard waiting shelters are now provided. Train running information is offered via CIS displays, timetable posters and customer help points on each side (there is also a payphone on platform 2). Step-free access is available to both platforms via ramps and the road crossing at the north end.[2]
Services
Monday to Saturdays there is generally a two-hourly service from here southbound to Shrewsbury and northbound to Crewe. These are mostly local trains stopping at all stations en route, but two on weekdays continue to
Manchester Piccadilly or Cardiff Central. Six southbound and four northbound trains call on Sundays.[3]
