Shared or joint parcels depots era 3

[Simon60]

Does anyone know of any shared or joint parcels depots in big 4 era?

Likewise any shared operations at stations?

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.

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.

Facilities of "other" railways got everywhere.

And Liverpool dockside wasn't the northernmost extent of GWR penetration as it ran both passenger and freight services to Manchester using its own locos and rolling stock.
