Wrekin Connect
Wrekin Connect is a separate hourly bus service linking Ironbridge Gorge, Jiggers Bank, Wellington and The Wrekin. Unlike the Park & Ride circular shuttle, it is designed for point-to-point journeys, making it possible to explore The Wrekin and Ironbridge Gorge without moving your car.
Same season as the Park & Ride — every weekend from Saturday 18 July to Sunday 13 September 2026 (plus Bank Holiday Mondays), running hourly in both directions.
Times repeat hourly. For example, a bus arriving at Jiggers Bank at 09.58 continues towards Ironbridge at 10.00.
