Crewe Heritage Centre

The Heritage Centre is a place I've visited once before, back in April 2022, and I'm glad I finally returned once again; we payed for 2 tickets which came to £16, which wasn't too bad. It's a great place to come and see a range of locomotives and learn the history of them, as the information is fascinating to learn. I also like the option to go inside some of the locomotives' features, like the cab or interiors, and see what they looked like before the railways were revolutionized into the 21st century. A big thumbs up to all the volunteers who make this place what it is, especially those in the signal boxes, who have a range of knowledge on the different functions/signals up there. The place is well-looked after and we also had a nice chat to the volunteer in the gift shop (think his name was Ron) who seemed like a friendly chap. Speaking of which, there's a range of railway-related memorabilia on offer in the shop, from DVD's to fridge magnets to all-things model railway, we were spoiled for choice on what to buy! One of my favourite things is the signal box spotting point, where you have an incredible view of Crewe station and have the opportunity to see the majority of trains that pass through the station itself. It was so tranquil to watch the trains pass through for the hour we were up there! We took some nice pictures and videos of the trains passing. Would recommend to all people who are train-mad and will definitely try and visit here again next year!
