CHAOS! Trains at Crewe - August 5th & 6th, 2026

A video from my latest trip to Crewe! Last time I visited in December, everything went well, with minimal disruption overall, but that wasn't the case this time. The first day had a nice variety of trains and movements, and a lot less disruption which allowed me to record a lot of footage! The second day was the complete opposite! Due to a power cut in Manchester, trains were being diverted, delayed and cancelled, and overall it was chaos!

This is a great video, so I hope you find it interesting!
