It is one of the largest stations in the North West and a major interchange station on the West Coast Main Line. It has 12 platforms in use and has a direct service to London (Euston) (average journey time of around 1 hour 35 minutes), Edinburgh, Cardiff, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Derby, Stoke-on-Trent, Chester, Wrexham, Holyhead for the ferry connections to Dún Laoghaire and Dublin Port. Many other towns and cities also have railway connections to Crewe.
Crewe is on the A500, A530 and A534 roads, and is less than 10 miles (16 km) from the M6 motorway.
The main bus company in Crewe is Arriva, which also operates in the surrounding towns and villages. Smaller operators such as GHA Coaches and D&G Coach and Bus run the shorter local routes.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
