Diesel parade through Crewe

Two diesel locomotives of different types (classes 47 and 40) haul a train of diesel multiple units southwards through Crewe station. This type of working is called "ECS" (empty coaching stock)

Crewe railway station

This railway station, opened in 1837, was once among the busiest in the world and has passed into folklore. It is still a significant railway junction, where the trunk line from London Euston splits into three branches for North Wales, Manchester and the main line continuing to Warrington (where the Liverpool branch leaves the main line). To the south there are lines to Stoke/Derby and Shrewsbury/Cardiff.
