History

Before its closure in 1966, Class 05, 08 and 11 shunters could be seen at the depot.[3] Class 153 DMUs were also stored here before the depot's demolition in 2000.[2]

After re-development of the site, the local authority named a road crossing the area as "Ffordd 6G Road". Probably the only street in the UK named after a BR shed code.
