HS2 could help bring the return of passenger trains to Middlewich. Image: Jonathan Hutchins CAMPAIGNERS hope the arrival of HS2 in Crewe could finally bring the return of passenger trains to Middlewich and a new station for Gadbrook Park. Phase 2a for the high-speed railway gained Royal Assent earlier this month – meaning it will travel between Birmingham and Crewe. At Tuesday’s Middlewich Town Council meeting, Cllr Graham Orme suggested this could be a push in the right direction for the Mid Cheshire Rail Link campaign, which would see the reopening of a train station in Middlewich along the Sandbach to Northwich line.
