Nantwich railway station serves the town of Nantwich, Cheshire, England. It is on the Crewe to Shrewsbury line. Opened in 1858, it was the junction for the Great Western Railway route to Wellington via Market Drayton until 1963.
The station is served both by the two-hourly Crewe to Shrewsbury stopping trains and some longer distance workings between Manchester Piccadilly and Cardiff Central (with some extensions further west to Swansea and Carmarthen & two trains to Swansea via the Heart of Wales Line) on Mondays to Saturdays.
There is an infrequent service (five trains each way) on Sundays.
