Kirkdale TMD - Allocation

Allocation

The Class 507 and Class 508 electric multiple units are based at Kirkdale depot, regularly stabled in the back sidings near Bank Hall railway station. In 2006, a new small shunter was allocated to the depot to take sets into the new wheel lathe.

Previously, battery locomotives and Class 73 locos have been stored at the depot in the past for sandite duties in the winter. Network Rail stables the MPV diesel unit(s) here occasionally during the leaf fall season.
