Shrewsbury Town have confirmed that matchday bus services from the town centre to Croud Meadow will continue this season, though routes from further afield remain under review. The club’s contract with Arriva for the ST1 to ST4 services and agreement with Boultons for the ST5 and ST6 services has ended, but the town centre shuttle will still operate for home matches.
Shrewsbury Town’s fixed-term agreement with Arriva for the ST1 to ST4 bus services and Boultons for the ST5 and ST6 services has come to an end. The club has secured the town centre shuttle service but is still exploring options for routes from Telford, Oswestry, Whitchurch and Wem, Ludlow, and Bishop’s Castle. Demand and cost are key factors in the review.
Why it matters for Shrewsbury
The matchday bus services have been a vital link for supporters traveling to Croud Meadow. The town centre shuttle ensures fans can still access the stadium easily, while the review of other routes reflects the club’s need to balance supporter needs with commercial interests. Next fixture: vs Oldham (away, 2027-02-27) (8th in the table).
Shrewsbury Town will continue to assess the feasibility of reinstating the other bus routes based on demand and cost. The club’s first competitive home fixture is against Barnet on Saturday, August 22, and supporters are encouraged to check for updates on bus services as the season progresses.
