2,600 sign Shropshire Star London rail petition
More than 2,600 readers have now signed up to the Shropshire Star's campaign calling for a direct rail link to London to be reinstated.
The online petition has now been running for just over a fortnight and as of this morning the number of signatories stood at 2,610.
Time is running out for people to sign and pledge their support for the campaign before the county's MPs present a copy of the petition to leading officials from the Office of Rail Regulation.
They want the facts behind the decision to block a direct rail link from Shropshire to London on the grounds that the rail network could not handle the extra traffic without other services suffering.
The meeting is taking place on Monday in London.
