Tyseley TMD
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tyseley TMD is a railway Traction Maintenance Depot situated in Tyseley, outside Birmingham, England. Originally opened by the Great Western Railway in 1908 it later passed through the Western Region and London Midland Regions of British Railways eventually to be assigned to Central Trains and later Maintrain. The depot code is TS.
The site itself owes it layout to the original GWR arrangements, having been laid out to their standard design, the roundhouse closest to the carrige sidings remained in use longest and so formed the site used by Tyseley Locomotive Works as a preservation location.
