A park and ride bus

Next stop Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings


Shrewsbury’s Harlescott park and ride service is to add stops outside and opposite the Flaxmill Maltings, when we open on Saturday 10 September.

The stop for people coming from the park and ride site will be immediately across the road from the Flaxmill Maltings, near the junction to Hallcroft Court. The stop to return to the park and ride site will be in a new bus layby across the road from Frank Painter & Sons.

With limited parking on site this really is great news for visitors.
