Talk:Crewe railway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What's going on in this "Modern Services" section? The Arriva Trains Wales routes listed are total nonsense - there's no such thing as the "Crewe to Manchester and North Wales Coast Line" with neighbouring stations at Wilmslow and Chester — the ATW service from Manchester is the Manchester to Cardiff Central or Pembroke Dock service, preceding station Wilmslow, following station either Nantwich or Shrewsbury. Neither is Crewe on the Shrewsbury-Chester line; it is the origin of the Crewe-Shrewsbury local service, next stop Nantwich. -- Arwel 01:28, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Well if you know better, correct it! The box is meant to indicate that the trains from manchetser (e.g. crewe to manchester) line are through trains onto the North Wales Coast Line, hence the break in the link (it is not one line, but two with through trains). If the through trains from manchester actually go onto a different line (i.e. one towards cardiff), then this wrong and should be changed. Remember that it is best to list lines rather than services as lines remain whilst services are more liekly to change regularly.

From other wiki pages and the arrvia trains website, it appears that the manchetser-cardiff service follows the Welsh Marches Line to Newport. As some of these services stop at the local stops to Shrewsbury, I've merged the crewe-shrewsbury line into the Welsh Marches Line. I've also created seperate box for the North Wales Coast Line.Robdurbar 10:57, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

in the external links section there is a station layout, i believe (being a crewe citizen that this is a diagram for the propoesed rebuilding of the station, the taxi rank and car park at the bottom of the picture do not exist and the concourse section is currently a completely diffrent shape and also houses the current taxi rank, i believe that this pdf file must have been taken from the future proposals section of the cheshire county council website.

Hello, There is at the end of the third paragraph of the article a mention of those "Crewe Gateway" proposals. I have moved the PDF hyperlink from the external ref section to the end of that third paragraph, where it will be more meaningful. NoelWalley 15:08, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
