Springs Branch Shed
40023 Lancastria, 25286 and 08691 are stabled on the back road at Springs Branch Depot, just south of Wigan North Western station on the WCML. These three classes, along with the Brush Class 47s were the staple diet in the North West at the time although that would change during the 1980s. Springs Branch is still used to store locomotives although the component recovery function seems to have ceased.
