View of Monument Lane shed after its allocation of steam locomotives had been withdrawn replaced by diesels on 7th October 1962. The shed was still used to service and repair at the weekend the few diesel shunters allocated. They would be based at the yard or sidings for the working week as they did not need the stabling facilities steam locomotives required. However on a Saturday afternoon after the shift had finished the crew would return the locomotive to the shed. On Monday morning after the diesel locomotive had been serviced the crew would return to their allocated working. Monument Lane's allocation of mainline or branch line Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs) would also be serviced over the weekend.
