Crewe is uniquely positioned in terms of location, heritage and expertise to become the new headquarters for Great British Railways, Cheshire East has said.
Councillors from across the borough unanimously backed a motion for the council to engage directly with the Transport Secretary Grant Shapps and prioritise the submission of a competitive bid for Crewe to host the new HQ for Great British Railways.
Cheshire East councillors are being urged to back Crewe’s bid to become the home of Great British Railways.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has asked “traditional railway towns” to put a case forward to develop new headquarters for Great British Railways – a new, single, accountable public body responsible for running Britain’s railways.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
