Crewe Diesel TMD

Crewe Diesel Depot is a former diesel-electric locomotive traction maintenance depot (also known as Crewe Diesel Traction Maintenance Depot and Crewe Diesel TMD) situated to the south of Crewe railway station. Built in 1958 by British Railways, it was used as a maintenance facility for the diesel locomotives that were at the time replacing steam traction across the National Rail network. Following the privatisation of British Rail, depot ownership transferred to EWS, now DB Schenker, and continued as a base for diesel traction, latterly becoming a facility for storing surplus rolling stock. In 2014, ownership transferred to Locomotive Storage Ltd, which have been, and are continuing to, renovate the site.
