There was a crash there in 1964. Amputation without anaesthetic and a milk tanker pushed along the platform. It was all reopened in a couple of hours. Can you imagine how long it would take today?The old Nantwich station buildings are now an Indian restaurant.
Trains stop alongside and passengers peer in through the windows. A highlight of the Basmati experience is holding up one's meal and beer to show to hungry commuters.
They seem to appreciate it, I'm not sure.
