Is there some explanation for the unusual form of the station name, as Wellington (Shropshire) [or Wellington (Salop) as I've seen printed on some tickets], when as far as I know there is no other station in the UK also called Wellington? Perhaps historical? DWaterson 00:14, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Also, Salop is simply an archaic name for both the county-town and the county of Shropshire. Some British institutions have continued to use 'Salop' well beyond it's official use as terminology regarding the county, or indeed, the town of Shrewsbury —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.237.47.51 ( talk) 00:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC) < 150.237.47.51 ( talk) 00:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)alex 150.237.47.51 ( talk) 00:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)>
Wellington (Somerset) lost its railway station in 1964. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.254.77.254 ( talk) 01:59, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
I added a photograph of the station I took today, hope you guys like it, although if not feel free to let me know why and I can go and look at taking another (It is only like 5 minutes walk from the house anyway). MttJocy ( talk) 13:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
It says 'eastbound', but Shrewsbury is in a westerly direction, hence it should surely be 'westbound'? (Wolverhampton and Birmingham, for example, are Easterly, and as such are Eastbound directions. If the camera were to continue down the line in the direction in which the photograph was taken, it would, indeed, arrive at Shrewsbury station, hence the picture is taken facing westbound —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.237.47.51 ( talk) 23:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
