Services
Wellington is currently served by two trains an hour between Birmingham New Street and Shrewsbury, one operated by London Midland and the other by Arriva Trains Wales. The latter trains continue alternately to Aberystwyth and Holyhead via Chester. There is also the 22:07 service to Manchester Piccadilly on weekdays. The few remaining through trains to Walsall were withdrawn in December 2008. Until 1967 Wellington was served by the GWR, latterly BR Western Region, express services between London Paddington and Birkenhead Woodside which was withdrawn upon the electrification of the West Coast Main Line. Between 28 April 2008 and 28 January 2011, Wellington was a stop on Wrexham & Shropshire's service between Wrexham General and London Marylebone.
