Engine Sheds and Locomotive Depots of Britain
Selecting a single shed will bring up a page with any photographic records, additional references, web links and a Google location map. The map can also be reached by clicking the listed OS map reference in the multiple shed lists.
Note: Closure date in most cases refers to steam operation. The shed may still have continued in operation for diesel and electric traction, or as a signing on point for the crew.
Your help and input, as always, is most welcome in extending this database resource.

Can you Help?
We are looking for more information about the engine shed at WIGAN (SPRINGS BRANCH). In particular we are looking for photographs of the shed that we can publish on this site. Or can you contribute any other specific details of this or any other shed that would improve this resource for other visitors.
If you can help and own the copyright, please contact The Loco Shed Index Team in the usual way.
