Rail, road and foot

The A500 dual carriageway bridge over the railway just to the south of Crewe station, with a freight train emerging. Since the construction of the new dual carriageway, the public footpath from Gresty Road in Crewe to Basford has been diverted to go under the railway bridge rather than over the A500 embankment around 200m west. The tower (left) carries lights to illuminate the adjacent Basford Hall Sorting Sidings
