History

The depot was first opened by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway in 1876. Two years later in 1878, a football club was formed, known as the Newton Heath LYR Club. The club was renamed Manchester United in 1902 [7] .

In 1922, the L&YR was amalgamated with the London & North Western Railway. A year later, the LNWR became part of the London Midland Scottish Railway before being nationalised into British Railways in 1948. On the Privatisation of British Rail in the 1990s, it passed to Northern Trains.

In 1987, the depot's allocation of rolling stock included Classes 101, 104, 108, 142 and 150/2 DMUs. [8] Although, Classes 08, 31, 45 and 47 could also usually be seen at the depot. [9] By 1994, the depot's allocation included Classes 142, 150/1, 150/2, 153 and 156. [10]
