I shall never tire of going to Crewe. Although it has changed in many ways, it still draws me in as it always has done. It is also one of the easiest stations to park your car [free, street-side, behind Weston Road]. A farming village until the railway arrived, Crewe grew to become the archetypal railway town. The imposing Crewe Arms was the 1837-built station hotel for the Grand Junction Railway, largely rebuilt in 1880. Royal Scot Class No. 46115 Scots Guardsman was at the head of a charter train on Saturday 11th March – by no means the first time I’ve seen a Scot head off south from here.
