That's because it's in the North (sort of: apologies to Geordies and Mackems)
Without branching off topic too much, Crewe definitely satisfies the 'Do they get North West Tonight or Midlands Today for their evening news?' test that most people around here seem to use as the divider between the North and the Midlands.
The border is somewhere around Stoke IIRC.

And further away from eachother than the previous two.

Warrington BQ is very much a traditional Victorian station at platform level (and all the better for it IMO). It's also not badly maintained.
I can't remember if there's a buffet, but for a big WCML station, there doesn't seem to be a lot in the way of facilities. It's also a bit of a traipse to the town centre.
The Platform 1/2 island building is. The one on 3/4 is from the 1950s.
There was a buffet, which had become a coffee shop that sells hot snacks (Costa? I can't remember the chain), on Platform 1/2 last time I was there.
The town centre is a long walk, which is why the Manchester train from Central (also more frequent) has always been more popular with locals.
