Full speed ahead as historic steam train travels through Sandbach
By Deborah Bowyer 21st Oct 2023
Crowds gathered at Sandbach train station in Elworth to catch a glimpse of a steam train travelling through.
The Jubilee Class No 45596 Bahamas sped through on its way south before stopping at Crewe station just before 5.30 pm on its way to Rugby.
Although the train didn't stop at Sandbach, it soared through on its way south, creating a spectacle which would not look out of place 70 years ago.
Earlier in the day it has sped through Stockport station as our sister site, Stockport Nub News revealed here
The 45596 Bahamas was built in 1934 in Glasgow, designed by William Stanier. It was withdrawn from the rail network in 1966.
