In launching Wrexham & Shropshire, we have received assistance and support from many important stakeholders:

• The Welsh Assembly Government supported our application to run train services, and also the building of the new depot at Wrexham, providing 45 jobs locally
• The local councils along the route – including Wrexham County Borough Council, Shropshire County Council, Shrewsbury and Atcham Council, North Shropshire District Council, Telford and Wrekin Council, Wellington Town Council – which have all contributed to our successful launch
• Train operating companies with whom we are associated, including Chiltern Railways and Hull Trains, who have helped with many of the tasks necessary to set up a new rail company from scratch
• The Association of Train Operating Companies and Network Rail who have been supportive of our plans
• The Chester 2 Shrewsbury Rail Partnership
• Many other organisations and individuals, to all of whom our thanks go.
