Stratford TMD

Stratford TMD

Stratford MPD was an engine shed located in Stratford in London in the UK on the Great Eastern Main Line. It was located just west of Stratford station on the site occupied in July 2012 by Stratford International station. The depot was at one time the biggest on the London and North Eastern Railway with locomotives covering duties from crack express services to freight workings in London's docks.

Each UK depot has a code that is used when allocating locomotives to the depots. The original code was STF which was first used in 1875 and was replaced by the British Railways code for the depot which was 30A. In 1973 the depot carried the SX moniker before becoming SF.

Locomotive construction took place at the adjacent Stratford Works and Stratford TMD was initially located on this site located in the V between the Lea bridge and Great Eastern Main Line. In 1871 the depot moved to the 'teardrop' of lines to the west of the present Stratford Regional station.

The site of the depot is now taken up by Stratford International station.
