Traction and Wagon Maintenance Depot | Closed and Disused
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2021
- This Traction and wagon maintenance depot opened in 1960 for British Rail.
In the Rail settlement Plan English Welsh and Scottish (EWS) took ownership of the site.
Later becoming a major repair depot for class 60 and 66 locomotives due to its facilities, the depot serviced all EWS’s fleet of locomotives in South Wales, after the closure of Cardiff Canton TMD.
It is not the intention of this video to go into detail of a recent accident at the nearby mainline, at points 9577B on the 3 July 2019
where two Network Rail Trackworkers were fatally struck by a class 800 bi-mode multiple unit, with unit 800021 leading. There were 184 passengers on board the GWR service . ALW Exploration sends Deepest condolences to all those affected.
In November 2007, EWS was sold to Deutsche Bahn, and in January 2009 rebranded as DB Schenker.
To be clear the areas visited are disconnected from any active railway and it is not part of the Network Rail system. The rails are disconnected and removed from the end of the siding and the depot is no longer active or part of the railway infrastructure.
There is a well used footpath through the former rail yard and there are no railway related no entry signage.
Under this new ownership a restructuring of EWS’s infrastructure ordered the closure of Margam Traction and Wagon Maintenance Depot.
In September 2008, the service moved to a nearby Yard. All servicing above a C-class, and all brake inspections, are now sent to an alternative TMD.
Today, there are many stored examples of rolling stock remaining at this Traction and wagon maintenance depot.
We are going to explore this huge depot site starting with the administration and canteen block then we will head down to the closed and disconnected track bed, to the rolling stock areas.

Wow! This is an awesome video! This would be a fantastic subject to make a model of, thanks for posting!
Thank you :)
Good video Andy
Most of those wagons are steel coil carriers , the hoppers were coal and the articulated blueish ones were rover car carriers they seem to be stored all over but last used in 2005 out of Longbridge
Thanks for the info! I used to have a few Rovers back in the 90's/2000's the wagons here were in good condition, although now cut off and isolated, this could be their resting place. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :)
Brilliant Video ALW! Enjoyed seeing the rusty old train graveyard, what a cool place. I hope you are well. Thanks for sharing take care.
Glad you enjoyed it JenEvie, it sure was a big place and it felt like it would have been very busy once upon a time.
Great video mate I'm glad you said that that line is disconnected from the main line...
Hi Kernow, yeah railways are not playgrounds as we both know. I remember watching the news report about the two Network Rail workers who were struck by the 800 GWR there.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting :)
Great video. I think the enclosed French made interconnected cars in the siding are early Channel Tunnel motor car carriers.
We serviced a lot of locos at East Usk Yard Newport .
Cool video bud thanks ,hope you are well.
Thanks, you too! I have been working a lot of late
Nice one dude I’ll watch it when I’m home
nice video, at todays scrap steel prices each one of them wagons is worth around 3k-5k to a scrapper 🙂
Oh wow! As far as I know they are still sat there
Hi Andy, a interesting video, great to see kurt again too. Xxx
Hello Barb, great to see you here, Yes Kurt is a really nice guy
The cars with the accordion between each car may have been a experiment for making the more aerodynamic
Yes thats a good suggestion, they had no restriction between them, no partition internally too, so one long carrige. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
@@ALWResearchTeam 🖖🏼
@@ALWResearchTeam They were 5 vehicle (per set) articulated covered car carriers. Introduced to provide more protection for new cars being transfered from factories to ports. They were used out of Honda (Swindon), Ford (Halewood, Liverpool), BMW (Cowley, Oxford) and Jaguar (Birmingham)
Hello there Scott B. Thanks for the information:) that makes it even more interesting for me to know what they were for. Thanks for watching and commenting
Just catching up as I’ve got a bit behind on videos the last couple weeks. Really enjoying the train content. A shame about the graffiti 😒 a great find, thank you for sharing. Might have to add this one to my to-do list🤪
Hello IceyDiamond, yes the graffiti is a shame but at least the carriages are intact. Great to see you here, thank you so much for watching.
@@ALWResearchTeam yes they are in great condition considering they’ve just been left there for years.
I worked at that location
Are the wagons still there and is is hard to get to them.
Hello Donald. The access was a walk on. It’s been a couple of years since I was last there so I do not know the current situation
@@ALWResearchTeam thank you
Hi ALW team
It was gated off but you can get in by going down the bank cross under a stile and it comes at the rear of the gate. There were even more steel wagons as I went down at least another 3 lines of wagons.
Ah still a busy place then :-)
@@ALWResearchTeam it seems so
14:29 same as me. old. Me not 100 ton but feel bigger than I once was.
Just started, Thinking good for the mountain bike., nice tracks to ride along, Not the actual railway line but paths at the side. What a waste. looking at drone shots.
Found it on the map. Get to that easy enough. Road to almost it. then walk. Big estate by it, as in drone shots. Amazon there.
It’s sure a big place. I think DB are just sitting on the land
Sure is. Drive right to it
