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]
Servicesedit
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 Swansea via the Heart of Wales Line and some early morning and late evening trains are through trains to either Manchester Piccadilly or Cardiff Central. Six southbound and four northbound trains call on Sundays.[3]
