Cardiff Canton TMD

Cardiff Canton TMD is a diesel locomotive Traction Maintenance Depot which is situated in Cardiff, Wales. The depot code is CF. In steam days the depot was known as Cardiff Canton and its shed code was 86C. Originally built as the main maintenance base for the South Wales Railway, it became the major Welsh engineering base for the Great Western Railway. A heavy overhaul base for British Railways, it then became a joint EWS/Arriva Trains Wales depot. After shut down of the EWS depot as a maintenance centre from 10 December 2005(still used for long term storage and occasional stabling), it is now solely operated by Arriva Trains Wales.
