Telford Central railway station is ready to welcome spectators heading to the Cosford Air Show in Shropshire.

West Midlands Railway (WMR) installed waiting spaces and other types of signage on the platforms in the early part of this year (2025), this followed successful trials of both accessibility tools at other railway stations managed by the operator across the region.

The spaces come in the form of blue and white boxes which feature a white wheelchair logo and the words ” for mobility assistance, please wait here” there is signage positioned directly behind where the spaces are on the platforms, attached to wooden fences, mirroring the same messaging.

If you would like to book your assisted travel ahead of time, this can be done up to 2 hours before departure in 1 of 3 ways:

By Phone: 0800 024 8998 or by using Next Generation Text – 18001 0800 024 8998.

By using the App: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/passenger-assistance/id1542190496.

However you do have a legal right to just turn up and go without booking any assistance prior to travel.
