Crewe Modernisation...

Do you remember this logo? Crewe Modernisation - renewing of the track and signals in 1984 and 1985 was meant to prepare the station for its role in the 21st Century. Now we're here, it seems the whole station needs revising to be able to serve all the requirements of its life today. One wonders where the debate over whether or not to move the station will lead.

The press has mentioned the existing station, or some of it being given over to a heritage centre... would that work? Would it be a good idea? At first glance it seems it; but if we ever receive a clear decision, all the implications will need careful considerations. Wouldn't it be great to bring the history of railways home to Crewe and end up with a world class railway and industrial heritage attraction? What do you think?
