Sandbach railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandbach railway station serves the town of Sandbach in Cheshire, England. Although the station is called "Sandbach railway station", the actual location of the station is on the A533 road from Sandbach to Middlewich and Northwich in the local residential suburb of Elworth.
Sandbach was a double junction on the LNWR and later London Midland and Scottish Railway line from Crewe to Manchester. For many years, Sandbach was a junction for the single line branch to Middlewich and Northwich railway station, which carried a heavy freight traffic but which closed for passenger service in the 1950's. Even earlier, the North Staffordshire Railway branch from Kidsgrove to Sandbach ceased passenger service in the 1930's and closed for freight traffic in the 1960's.
