Hi Soapy,
Going to Crewe on Saturday? On the way through Piccadilli, take time out to go out onto the Approach where Ian Allen has a super bookshop, get yourself a Platform 5 "Locomotives and Coaching Stock" Combined Edition.
If you have a car Darwen is a great place for day trip access to Manchester, Preston, Leeds, Doncaster, Crewe, Derby amongst other great spotting places. There arn't as many spotters around now but they are usually pretty knowledgeable and are usually friendly.
Regards, Tony (ex-pat Lancastrian)
