New roundabout, B5071
The B5071 has been rerouted to provide a link between Crewe and the new A500 to the south.
The bus is a Volvo Olympian, owned by local operator Routemaster Buses, on a shuttle service between Crewe Station and Gresty Bridge for the DRS depot open day.
In the background, train-spotters are checking Basford Hall railway sidings.
Current plans show the land over the fence as the site for an HS2 infrastructure maintenance depot.

Farm buildings at Yew Tree Farm, near Crewe
Several farms lie around Crewe Road (B5071), immediately to the south of the city of Crewe. These farm buildings on a right-angle bend show the typical features of the area, with circular windows, arched entrances and cross-shaped ventilation holes. The chimneys of the Mornflakes plant, visible across much of the square, can be seen in the distance (left)
