Description
On Sunday 18th Sepetember and opportunity arose to visit the ex MOD depot at Long Marston in Warwickshire, since the privatisation of British Rail in the mid-1990s, rolling stock companies have used it to store out-of-lease rolling stock and locomotives. The site is secure and secluded to minimise the risk of vandalism. A few locos seen in this do exist today whereas many sadly do not.

Our tour starts around the car park and then a bus trip was organised around the vast site to capture as much as possible.

The site has been recently aquired by Porterbrook who are of the UK major players in rolling stock, with plans to help the introdction and development of better more effiecent stock including the Hydrogen powered train.
