SJ8696 : Longsight railway depot

near to Gorton, Manchester, Great Britain

Longsight railway depot

There has been a depot at Longsight since the Birmingham and Manchester Railway in 1842. The present buildings are operated by West Coast Traincare and look after Virgin's fleet of Pendolino and Voyager trains as well as local electric multiple units. It is difficult to get a photo of the buildings other than from a passing train.
