The railway between Crewe and Sandbach is four-tracked. The left hand pair, called the Wilmslow Lines, carry most passenger traffic; the right hand pair, called the Manchester Independent Lines, are mostly used by freight (of which there is not much). Crossovers just south of Sandbach station allow trains to switch between them. Seen from the end of the station platform, a local train approaches the junction on the down Wilmslow line. There is a further crossover between the Wilmslow lines a few hundred metres further southImage
