A train guard on a Shrewsbury to Crewe service came across the injured man who had boarded the train with serious head and facial injuries.
The 69-year-old was escorted off the train at Crewe and was taken to hospital.
He had suffered a fractured skull and eye socket, a broken nose and facial injuries, and bruising to his chest and back.
Detectives trying to find out how and where the man sustained his injuries. They believe he has been assaulted.
British Transport Police officers have completed a number of inquiries, including obtaining CCTV that shows the man on the platform just before he boarded the train at Nantwich, where he had been for an evening out.

The Assailant(s) obviously needs help, should be apprehended ASAP and turned over to a platoon of Social Workers, Do-Gooders, Legal Aid Experts and finally a Judge who will be only too critically concerned about the naughty individual’s Human Rights and invariably cruel background without a computer for Xmas!….
Roll on REFORM!🙏
Nantwich is a dodgy place these days
