Further to my enquiry about Milton Park, what's happened to Ferrybridge Depot? After EWS took it over I undertstand they used it as some kind of Shunter refurb works? but what's used for now? Presume its closed?

Hi,

Yes it was used for its original purpose until EWS transferred the '59s' away, at which point they used it as a shunter repair facility (I believe) and also did a number of wagon repairs there. I had the chance of a quick visit while working for EWS for a period, and it was quite active. Latterly it was also used for storing withdrawn locomotives, specifically '56s' as it was a secure location.

 

As for now, I think there's still some rolling stock stored there, but don't believe there are any staff present.
