Location
The depot is located to the east of the city centre in a mainly industrial area.
In rail terms, the depot is situated south of Wolverhampton railway station, and to the north of Coseley railway station. Apart from Wolverhampton South Junction to Walsall, it is the only divergence from the main line between the two stations. It is only accessible from the Birmingham side. Trains running to the terminal from the north would theoretically need to stop and reverse onto the spur, but in practice would almost certainly divert via Bescot and come back onto the line through a series of junctions near Birmingham.
The depot is built adjacent to the trackbed of the Birmingham Snow Hill-Wolverhampton Low Level Line, which closed in 1972, and on the site of the former Walsall Street goods depot of the Great Western Railway. It was opened as a steel terminal in 1966.
