Talk:Crewe railway station

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

thread_title:  Introduction 

message: I think a project or a sub-project (within the UK geography project) dealing with the whole of Cheshire would be a good idea.
I have taken as a precedent the project about Cornwall, which any project dealing with Cheshire could hope to aspire to, since this project has constructed Featured Articles about Cornwall-related things. So, I've listed a proposed project concerning Cheshire on Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. I think it can easily co-exist with Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. I would not want to diminish or withdraw from this other project. If you are interested in contributing to this proposed project, please add your name to list at the appropriate place. If you think it might be better placed as a sub-project of the existing UK Geography Project, please say so on that project's talk page, here, and let us discuss it. Many thanks.  DDStretch  (talk) 02:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the logic behind having this article in :Category:Railway stations opened in 1861? The station was rebuilt in that year, but it initially opened in 1837, and I'm changing the category to match. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 13:12, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is the logic... 

message: Please can someone with knowledge of the lines in and around the station please take a look at the schematic layout section and sort it out.  To me it looks like a complete mess and jumble of lines. I can't even understand the orientation of the platforms. Just added :Template:Unclear section to attract attention to it. Wikipedia:Route_diagram_template and Wikipedia:Route_diagram_template/Catalog_of_pictograms are worth a read if you have the knowledge of the lines, but just not the understanding of how to make a diagram.

message: Crewe was not the first to form a junction between more than two companies, since the Chester and Crewe Railway was no longer an independent company. Chevin (talk) 14:59, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Were none of the lines going through Crewe Closed in the Beaching Axe? Theofficeprankster (talk) 23:43, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: None of the lines through Crewe were closed as a direct result of the Beeching Report. Some of the local passenger services (such as those to Chester) were withdrawn - but all of the lines remained open, if only for longer-distance services. Two routes were closed as a result of decisions made pre-Beeching: the ex-LNWR line to Northwich (via Sandbach and Middlewich) went in 1960, and although the ex-GWR route to Wellington (via Nantwich and Market Drayton) was closed in September 1963 (after the publication of the Beeching Report), it had already been scheduled for closure at the time that the Report was prepared (see p. 129 of the Report). --Redrose64 (talk) 11:42, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

message: It's not my subject but I see the Cheshire Records Office has tweeted plans of the station in 1876 and 1912 which presumably are contemporary and so would be out of copyright, someone might want to chase them up? Le Deluge (talk) 11:07, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Old plans 

message: The article describes the fact that the station was built as a junction, but doesn't really emphasise its highly unusual position in the railway system. For the nearest town to a railway station with 12 platforms to have a population of just 55,000 is unheard of. Surely it should be emphasised that Crewe station exists almost entirely as an interchange rather than a destination? 2A00:23C7:8905:CC01:28EE:F567:8138:FF52 (talk) 17:20, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
