PEOPLE in Crewe may hold the key to finding the Wilmslow bombers.

Police investigating last week's bombing want to talk to passengers on a train which travelled from Crewe to Manchester on the night before.

The train, the local service to Manchester Picadilly, left Crewe at 11.23pm on Tuesday, March 25 and stopped at Wilmslow Station at 11.50pm.

It then carried on to Manchester, arriving at 12.15am on Wednesday.

A police spokesman said: "We want to speak to anyone who was on the train, whether they stayed on to Manchester or got off at Wilmslow."

Anyone who can help is being asked to ring police on 01244 613454.

Calls to the investigating officers will be treated in confidence.
