Back in May, Crewe Truck Stop confirmed that it would at some point close to allow for the construction of HS2 infrastructure due to the site being subject to a compulsory purchase order.
“Believe me, we have fought against this for years but, as with many people, we have no say in this. Further to this we were approached by network rail to sell the premises early due to them having a need for the site for essential works on the existing railway. This sale has taken place with an agreement for us to carry on operating the business as a Truckstop until they require the site. So for the foreseeable future, we will be open as normal. Many thanks for reading, and your support,” said Crewe Truck Stop on Facebook at the time.
According to Michelin’s Truckfly app, Crewe Truck Stop’s facilities include toilets, showers, laundry, cafeteria, TV and WiFi. The facility has 85 parking spaces for HGVs and is secured with lighting, CCTV and guarded parking.
The truckstop also accepts refrigerated trucks and exceptional loads. Crewe Truckstop’s rating on Truckfly is 4.4/5 based on 15 reviews. The truckstop has a rating of 4.5 on Google Maps based on 705 reviews.
A Facebook Post made by the Truckstop yesterday confirmed that it had been due to close at the end of the month, but will now “carry on operating for the foreseeable future”.
“We are NOT closing on 30th July! We have managed to come to an agreement with Network Rail to continue to operate for a bit longer while we try and find an alternative site. Network Rail have been very understanding with recognising the need for our truckstop. We will be loosing a small part of our yard to them for storage (about 18 spaces) but they have agreed to let us carry on operating for the foreseeable future. We hope you’re as pleased with this news as we are. Safe travels and see you all soon,” wrote Crewe Truck Stop on Facebook.
