Opened on the Great North of Scotland Railway.

Description

These sidings were opened in 2007 around the time of the closure of the goods yard at Aberdeen Guild Street. In addition to the provision of the sidings the loop at Dyce was extended and coloured lights replaced semaphore.

The depot is underused, depots at Craiginches Yard and Aberdeen Waterloo having taken much of the traffic from Guild Street.
