History

The main shed was opened by the L&NWR prior to 1910, as a seven-track through-road shed. By the 1960s, this shed was used by British Rail for stabling multiple units. The three-track bay, closest to the West Coast Main Line, was refurbished after 1996. The second building is a three plus one-track through-road shed, built in 1999.

Present

As of 2016, the depot has no allocation. It is, instead, a stabling point for Arriva Trains Wales Class 67 and 82 locomotives, Class 150 Sprinters, Class 158 Express Sprinters, and Class 175 DMUs, London Midland Class 350 Desiros and Virgin Trains West Coast Class 221 Voyagers.
