THE Cambrian Heritage Railways is bringing the 'Brewery Express' to help thirsty customers from Oswestry get to the doors of the Stonehouse Brewery near Weston Wharf railway station.
This summer the Cambrian Heritage Railways (CHR) has partnered up with the Stonehouse Brewery to deliver the first evening service, while also adding an extra Wednesday service due to popular demand.
Every Friday and Saturday evening there will be three trains on the hour from 5pm for Oswestry people to get to the bar.
CHR general manager Andy Green said: "We are fortunate that Stonehouse Brewery is just yards from Weston railway station.

"The evening trains are already proving very popular and customers are enjoying the uniqueness of an ‘Ale by Rail’ experience. Customers just need to keep an eye on the time and make sure they don’t miss the last train home."
Before moving into preservation the heritage Pacer unit was was routinely used on the mainline Transpennine Real Ale Trail, which operates the service to some of the best watering holes across Lancashire and Yorkshire.
Stonehouse Brewery co-founder Shane Parr added: "Our customers already recognise the quality of our dining and the range of fine ales we offer.
"Arriving by heritage train just adds that little bit of class to a great evening out."
