Default Shrewsbury Down Platform 3

The only use the passenger use in the 70's was the ocasional football
special as "fans" could be escorted down the platform and along the path to
the ground without crossing any running lines, and saving a long hike
through town.
(mind you in the old division 3 you didn't get that many specials !!!!)

Before WSMR started using it, it used to be pressed into use when the
timetable went mammaries-up.
