History
editThe station formerly had sidings, which were closed in 1969 and replaced with the depot. Between 1956 and 1970, the sidings were used to stable Class 05, 06 and 08 shunters, as well as Class 11, 20 and 27 locomotives.[3] In 1987, the depot had an allocation of Class 20, 25, 26, 27 locomotives, along with a withdrawn Class 104 DMU.[4] The DMU has since been scrapped.[5]
Present
editThe depot is now closed.
