Chelford railway station serves the village of Chelford in Cheshire, England. The station is a stop on the Crewe to Manchester Line, sited 14+1⁄4 miles (22.9 km) north of Crewe.

History

Chelford railway station was opened by the Manchester and Birmingham Railway on 10 May 1842.^[1] It had its own engine shed, however this was demolished around 1880.^[2]

Following the formation of British Railways in 1948, services were operated by the London Midland region.

The station was rebuilt in 1960 by the architect to the London Midland section of British Rail, William Robert Headley.^[4] On 4 May 1970, the goods yard was closed.^[3]

Rail crash in 1894

On 22 December 1894, a strong wind blew a high-sided freight wagon into violent contact with other wagons, causing one to overturn and block the main line. An express train, travelling between London Euston and Manchester London Road, collided with the wagon; 14 people were killed and 48 were injured.^[5]

Services

Northern Trains provides an hourly service between Manchester Piccadilly, Stockport and Crewe.^[6]
