Despite standing as Britain's most popular train operator with a passenger satisfaction rate of 96 per cent as emerged published yesterday in a survey, Wrexham & Shropshire (W&S) Railway saw its demise. Although customers acclaimed the dependability of its service, cleanly carriages it offered with good availability of staff, the company folded.

About 92 per cent of travelers were of the opinion that Wrexham & Shropshire offered great value for money, 95 per cent of the total responders felt the carriages had enough space to sit or stand.

Additionally 97 per cent greatly hailed the security on board with about whopping 98 per cent positively heralding the cleanliness of the trains. The heap praising report was published by the consumer watch dog Passenger Focus according to the latest satisfaction survey. The very last train runs by the W&S Railway from London Marylebone pulled into Wrexham station bringing to an end not the services of Britain’s best loved railway company, but an era of gracious rail travel extending back almost 150 years.

Wrexham & Shropshire Railway, one of the three open access operators had neither obtained any subsidy from the Department for Transport nor did they have to pay premium to the Government.

The move came as the company had met a loss of £2.8 million and that there was no way for the company’s profitability said Adrian Shooter, the company's chairman.
