From the BBC TV Shropshire Website;
"Shrewsbury station was once the gateway to Wales and the North, with many routes on which VIP's would travel.
One such VIP, a Shrewsbury Councillor, has made the same journey to platform three since 1887 when he was killed by a falling roof, which also crushed his carriage and injured his horse.
The shadowy figure stands or sits near the ramp entrance from Castle St." Text Source; (visit link)

"Shrewsbury railway station is the only remaining railway station in the town; Shrewsbury Abbey, as well as other small stations around the town, having long closed. The station was built in 1848 and has been extended several times since. It was designated as a grade II listed building in 1969. There is no platform 1 or 2, instead there are five platforms all numbered 3-7 (the first two became disused over time).

The station is 43 miles (69 km) north west of Birmingham New Street and serves as the rail 'Gateway to Wales' with many services starting at or passing through the station bound for places in Wales; it is operated by Arriva Trains Wales as one of their key network hubs.

Shrewsbury is the busiest station in Shropshire and 14th busiest in the West Midlands region (by 2011/12 usage figures)." Text Source: (visit link)
