Due to many false starts since the completion of the Station building renovation, it has not been able update this section as often as we would have liked. But with the formation of the Cambrian Heritage Railways umbrella organisation, has come a closer relationship between the various interested parties - The Trust, The Society, Oswestry Station Building Trust and The Cross-Border Tourism Group.

As reported in the News section, Oswestry Borough Council along with Advantage West Midlands' Rural Regeneration Zone, the European Regional Development Objective II Programme and the Market Town Initiative programme, have acquired Oswestry Railway Station and have now started a multi-million pounds refurbishment project. As can be seen in the attached picture, work is proceding at a pace, and once finished will help regenerate this side of Oswestry Town centre and hopefully enable us to once more run trains into the site of the headquarters of the Cambrian Railways.

As part of the refurbishment, space has been allowed to reinstate the bay platform next to the Staiton building. This will enable a service from Oswestry to Gobowen to be run, some time in the future.
