Whilst on route to Stoke, came across a road traffic collision, involving a car and hitting the safety barriers! The driver is safe and BTP have handed over the investigation to Cheshire Constabulary! We are happy to provide assistance to those in need
At Crewe railway station last night an adult female barged through the barriers then went on and assaulted rail staff on the platform! She’s been arrested, charged and remanded in custody for court on Monday! We do not tolerate assaults on rail staff!
A Few tourists from the USA changed trains at Crewe today and chatted with our team, taking the opportunity to learn more about the BTP before departing to Liverpool for a hip hop event
Information received from the public on board a service from north wales on Saturday, that a man had a knife! Our Chester cops intercepted the train and one man arrested and charged with possession of an illegal knife! Remember see it, say it, sorted!

Day 4, neighbourhood action week, saw the team working with Cheshire police and specialist BTP units including police dog Ash at Crewe railway station targeting criminality on the railway
Top tip: when you’re arrested, dealt with &released; don’t then go back to the police station &shout &swear at the officers inside. It’s a sure way to a ticket straight back in the cells... 🤦♂️Now remanded for court in the morning.A shame we don’t do some sort of loyalty scheme🤔
Say hello to Liam our new friend, who wants to be the star of our X! Shortly after we were flagged down to respond to an elderly lady who had fallen! We rendered first aid bandaging her wound to await an ambulance! We are there to help if you need us
