Monument Lane Shed: lnwrmlsh2247
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locomotives had been withdrawn replaced by diesels on 7th October 1962.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.
