History

The main shed was opened by the London & North Western Railway 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. [3] The second building is a three plus one-track through-road shed, built in 1999. [3]
