An Index of British Locomotive Sheds and their Shed Codes

Below are listed the main British locomotive power depots of the steam era.
By clicking on the Shed Name you will be given a description of the shed, whilst clicking on the Shed Code you will be will given the numbers of the locomotives allocated to that shed for that selected year.  Sub sheds are indicated in italics.  Most allocation sources do not differentiate between main and sub sheds.  Therefore, the data for these sub sheds are very limited being based on personal or photographic records.

Please make use of the shed search function to limit the number of sheds listed by either alpha index, or by a partial or specific search on the shed name or its shed code.
(to force a search for a particular shed code prefix your request with a '#' character)

Your help and input, as always, is most welcome in extending this database resource.
