Shropshire commuter stops booking meetings due to late trains

Mr Taft catches a TfW service to either Wolverhampton or Birmingham, before getting a connecting service to London Euston.

“Often this first train that I catch… is so late that I miss the connection both at Wolverhampton or at Birmingham, and that results, of course, in having to get a subsequent train, which results in being usually at least half an hour, sometimes an hour late into work,” he said.

“It’s late so often that I’m now at the point where I’m not booking in meetings early in the morning at work, or I’m having to get the even earlier train, the first train out of Wellington, just to give myself a fighting chance of making it on time.”
