Assertis has launched the online ticketing system for Wrexham & Shropshire, Britain's newest passenger train operating company who will be running five trains a day in each direction between stations from Wrexham, through Shropshire and on to London Marylebone.

Customers can take advantage of an innovative 'tckts2txt' buying option. Tickets purchased online via Wrexham & Shropshire's website can be sent direct to a mobile phone by SMS text message.

Assertis have also made it possible for Wrexham & Shropshire's customers to purchase tickets for single or return journey's as well as making it fully possible to use their current railcards to save them money on Advance, Saver and Open ticket types.

In the near future Assertis plan to bring the UK's first theatre style booking system for the online ticketing system allowing passengers to choose exactly where they would like to sit on the train.
