The train takes 1hr 34m with two changes, and includes a trip on the Stourbridge Town shuttle.

The last pub of the day is opposite the Stourbridge Junction station approach, so those getting the train back can go from there. For those going back by bus, they can either take the shuttle train, bus or walk back to Stourbridge bus station, before taking the bus back to Wolverhampton.

Public Transport Group Trip to Manchester
2026-02-26 09:30 - 19:00 | Trip starts at Shrewsbury Railway Station, Castle Foregate, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY1 2DQ, United Kingdom
Shrewsbury & West Shropshire CAMRA social trip by public transport from Shrewsbury to Manchester. This is the second and last out-of-area PTG trip for the year. Members and non-members welcome!

We are going to be visiting some well-known pubs in the southern part of the city centre, including three with historic features and four currently in the Good Beer Guide.

TRAVEL INFORMATION

We will be taking the train to Manchester Piccadilly, then another to Manchester Oxford Road to save a bit of walking. All the pubs are within around 10 minutes walk of Oxford Road station.

The cheapest option seems to be to get a split ticket via Wilmslow, so a return from Shrewsbury to Wilmslow, then another return from Wilmslow to Manchester Oxford Road. This will take advantage of the cheaper travel within the Greater Manchester area.

Shrewsbury to Manchester:

09:54 from Shrewsbury arriving at Manchester Piccadilly at 11:13, then the 11:21 to Oxford Road arriving at 11:23 (or there’s another one at 11:33 if we miss the 11:21)

(note that if you’re booking online, the journey planner won’t show the 11:21 to Oxford Road as it doesn’t give the minimum 10 minute transfer time, so it will show the 11:33 instead)

Manchester to Shrewsbury:

17:13 from Manchester Oxford Road arriving at Manchester Piccadilly at 17:15, then 17:30 from Piccadilly to Shrewsbury arriving at 18:49

18:13 from Manchester Oxford Road arriving at Manchester Piccadilly at 18:15, then 18:30 from Piccadilly to Shrewsbury arriving at 19:44

There is also a 16:13 option from Oxford Road, changing at Piccadilly again and arriving in Shrewsbury at 17:44, for anyone that wants to get back earlier.

PUBS

A suggested order of pubs is shown below. Note that the times shown are approximate but they’ve been included just to indicate where the main group are likely to be at any particular time. If we get split up, maybe aim to meet up again at the Grey Horse at 3pm.

11:30 – Paramount (Spoons) – possible quick stop12:00 – Pevril of the Peak – there when it opens at 12:0012:45 – Britons Protection13:30 – City Arms14:15 – Old Monkey / Circus Tavern15:00 – Grey Horse15:45 – Lass o’Gowrie16:30 – Salisbury Ale House

and for those staying a bit later, the following are nearby:

– Oxford Road Tap – Temple – no real ale (may have bottled Czech or Belgium beers) but interesting setting in what was an underground public convenience – Bundobust Brewery

Unfortunately, the only pub open before 12pm in the area we are going to is the Paramount, the Wetherspoons on Oxford Street. So we will go for a quick drink at the Spoons after we arrive at Oxford Road station, and then walk to the Pevril of the Peak for 12pm. If the trains are running late, we may have to go straight to the Pevril of the Peak and wait for it to open.

The Old Monkey and Circus Tavern have been grouped together due to time constraints. The Monkey has a wider beer selection but the Circus is an historic pub, and may have the new Boddingtons on cask for anyone that fancies trying it. So people can stay in one or the other, or have a quick half in both. The Grey Horse is next door and that will be a longer pint stop.

Printed maps will hopefully be available on the day for those that don’t know Manchester that well, just in case the group gets split up.

For more information about our Public Transport Group (PTG) trips, please see the About Our Events page. If you would like to receive regular emails with details and updates on upcoming PTG trips, please send your email address to the PTG Organiser at ptg@saws.camra.org.uk, and you will be added to the Public Transport Group mailing list.
