Colwich Junction
Colwich Junction is a rail junction near the town of Little Haywood, Staffordshire, England. It is the junction between two routes of the West Coast Main Line: The Trent Valley Line and the Stone to Colwich cutoff Line. The junction was the site of the 1986 Colwich rail crash.
==Routes==
Situated on the Trent Valley Line section of the WCML between and Stafford, it accesses a twin track, electrified (25 kV AC overhead line) cut off line through to Stone, where it joins the North Staffordshire Railways main line (Stafford to Cheadle Hulme Junction via Stoke-on-Trent). This provides a shorter route to Manchester Piccadilly than using lines via Stafford or Crewe, although the route via Crewe and Wilmslow is technically a faster route due to fewer speed restrictions on the route.
South of the junction, the line is quadruple tracked towards & Rugby but to the north both lines continue as double track only (though the WCML remains so only for two miles before quadrupling once more again on the approaches to Stafford). The main line dates from 1847 and was opened by the London and North Western Railway, whilst the branch towards Stone was opened by the NSR two years later.
Prior to June 2005, the junction was worked locally from a British Rail LMR Type 15 brick and timber electro-mechanical signal box, but this has since been closed and the lines in the area transferred to the control of the signalling centre at .〔(''The Signal Box: Section C - 2005'' ) www.signalbox.org; Retrieved 2015-02-28〕
