Sandbach South Junction
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

Sandbach station: site of the Kidsgrove branch
A line formerly ran from Sandbach to Kidsgrove, but was disused by 1970. Some of it is now the Salt Line Trail, other parts have been turned into roads or built on. The embankment topped by a wooden fence marks its route.

Sandbach station: overgrown sidings
When I first knew this station in the 1970s there were several sidings here, that were still used for storing rakes of wagons. That explains the catenary support masts being so far from the platform - the sidings were elctrified. Now it is impossible to even tell whether the rails are still there beneath the vegetation.
