New small diesel depot


Recommended Posts

After the end of steam in the West of England in the 1960s for a few years Exmouth Junction was used to service diesels and DMUs

while two roads were given over to repairing wagons.

 

In the early 1980s when the diesel allocation diminshed Ebbw Junction depot also undertook repair of wagons

mostly ballast hoppers which were loaded locally out of Machen Quarry.

 

Barton Hill depot in Bristol, which was originally a steam shed, was for many years a wagon repair depot.

After sectorisation it became a RES depot servicing locos (47s and later 67s) while also maintaining parcel vans.

In the 2000s and 2010s Barton Hill has also serviced steam locos from charter work, and seen a return of some wagon repairs,

 

 

cheers
