Crewe station is one of the most significant railway stations in the world. Opening on July 4 1837, it has grown to be a busy interchange between primary routes, as well as the site of significant railway depots and works which remain in use to the present day. The station boats a number of firsts: the first to have an adjacent railway hotel; the first to be completely rebuilt due to growing numbers; and the first to be by-passed by a completely separate set of lines (the 'Independents') to avoid congestion.
