Direct Rail Services says it is making changes to its upcoming Open Day at Crewe.

Due to the huge increase in demand, DRS has decided to make their annual open day a ticket only event.

Previously, tickets could be purchased on the day.

Tickets cost £5, under 16s go free, and can be purchased from the DRS Website with all proceeds going to UK charities and community causes.

The event in at DRS’ Gresty Bridge depot, Crewe will open at 10am on Saturday 16 July and close at 4pm.

Chris Connelly, Rail Director and NTS’s Deputy CEO, said: “We’re overwhelmed by the interest in our open day this year and it promises to be a great event but, as with our operations, safety must take priority so we’re introducing pre-ordered tickets for the first time.

“The team are working non-stop to make this year’s open day extra special and I cannot wait to see you all there in a few weeks’ time.”
