Arriva Trains Wales services operate to Shrewsbury and Birmingham International approximately every two hours although there are proposals, funded by the Welsh Assembly, to increase the frequency of this service to hourly during 2011. Trains currently call at Borth, Dovey Junction, Machynlleth, Caersws, Newtown, Welshpool, Shrewsbury, Wellington, Telford Central, Wolverhampton, Smethwick Galton Bridge, Birmingham New Street and Birmingham International.
There were proposals for reinstating a direct train to London which stopped running in 1991. The journey would have taken four hours, but the plan was rejected in 2010.
