Pensioner 'abandoned' at Shifnal railway station
A train company has apologised after a pensioner said he was left abandoned at a Shropshire railway station.
David Bown, from Leicestershire says he was left without a way home from Shifnal station, after the last train was cancelled by London Midland.
The train company has now apologised to Mr Bown and says it will be looking at improving signage on the station.
Mr Bown was travelling home from Shifnal on May 19, and was due to catch the last train heading to Birmingham New Street that evening, scheduled at 9.13pm.
He said: " When I arrived at the station at 9pm I found that the train had been cancelled. Shifnal station is an unmanned station situated some 300 feet above ground level and not in sight of the town below.
"The overhead display eventually told me that alternative road transport would be available, but did not say where. The station has a small car park and a service road, but is nowhere near a main road.
"I eventually read a notice that advised me that alternative transport arrangements could be found on the poster near to this poster.
