Simon60 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Does anyone know of any shared or joint parcels depots in big 4 era? Likewise any shared operations at stations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I don't know whether you would call them "parcels" but the Cheshire LInes had goods warehouses at many of their stations that were shared between the Midland, Great Northern and Great Central railways. There are at least two survivors, one in Manchester and this one in Warrington. I think there is one in Birkenhead as well. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3340757 Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted April 26, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2019 Bristol TM, the whole shebang including the goods and parcels facilities, was run by a committee jointly between the Midland, later LMS, and the GWR. GW provided the pilots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
