Serviced offices in Telford mean no more London commute

The leader of Telford & Wrekin Council has spoken of his disappointment after Avanti West Coast removed the direct rail service between Wellington and London from their timetable, leaving Telford residents with no option for a direct rail commute to offices in London.

Avanti made the move as part of their newly published timetable, which the council called “yet another blow” following recent disruption due to strikes.

Council leader Shaun Davies said: “We are extremely disappointed by Avanti West Coast’s decision to remove the direct Wellington to London and London to Wellington services as part of their new timetable.

“Once again, the people of Telford and Wrekin are forgotten by those outside of the borough… We know that the direct rail service to the capital is important for so many people, for those who need it for work and also for day trippers.”

A better place to work in Telford

The lack of a direct rail service means that to commute to offices in London, Telford residents face a journey time of around two and a half hours.

A typical morning commute now uses two different operators’ trains – West Midlands Trains and Avanti West Coast – and changes at Wolverhampton at 6am to reach London Euston for 8:15am.

But if you are a small business based in Telford and/or London, there may be no need to commute between the two, while still maintaining a physical address in a desirable location.

Our newly opened serviced offices in Telford are just 10 minutes from Telford Central Station and offer over 50,000 square feet of prime office space in Central Park, at the fully refurbished St James’ House.
