It’s one hell of a building and looks in very good condition. Plenty of the orange brigade hanging around too. The one thing that court me out looking at the yard was the number of National Power livery wagon there are still. Sad to see the place now compared to what it was like thirty+ yrs agp. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent pictures Ian,, there was still quite a lot of it active back then , no1 down goods and most of the down yard is missing but at least the shed was still open The signalling inspector there was Derek Westhope , not sure if he's retired now 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
