Tinsley TMD

24th April 2006

Tinsley was just about the only maintenance depot that I ever got the chance to look round officially. I went on a couple of occasions as part of an invited party and the results are depicted here. It was also quite easy to get shots looking into the depot from a nearby footpath and such an example is also included. It was a shame that not long after my last visit the depot was closed. I dedicate this collection to all the many railwaymen who served within it's confines and did such a sterling job in helping to keep Britains railways on the move.
RIP.
