Panoramic view of the twelve roads that constituted Tyseley's repair workshops with eight locomotives representing seven classes on show circa 1910. Tyseley's repair workshop was part of the GWR's strategy to regionalise some of the maintenance work that could not be carried out the sheds. This saved valuable time both in avoiding moving locomotives to Swindon works as well as reducing the pressure on Swindon's facility. Tyseley repair workshop was of a similar size to that found at Old Oak Common in London.
