Description
This through station on the LMS West Coast main line is a busy junction, where the later direct Trent Valley line leaves the original Crewe to Birmingham line which with the London & Birmingham Railway formed the original main line to the north. There is also a busy branch to Wellingon and Shrewsbury, carrying traffic for the Central Wales line to Swansea, and the truncated Uttoxeter branch now serving several local industries and an RAF Maintenance Depot. The engine shed provides motive power mainly for local passenger and goods services.
This simulation shows it at its peak, particularly on Saturdays when there are many extra holiday trains from both London and Birmingham serving Blackpool, the Lake District and the resorts along the North Wales coast. The up and down marshalling yards handle traffic to and from local yards and industries as well as some interchange of portions between through services. There are five track screens.
