Northampton Depot

[AlterEgo]

I drove past this the other week. Does anything much go on here any more? I didn't even think there were rails leading to it nowadays, but I did see a NR van pull out with chaps in hi-vis inside.

I'm talking about the one on Cotton End/St Leonards, not the new fangled Siemens facility just north of the station.

Ah. I thought that might be the case. So nothing in the way of trains actually using the depot then?

I last worked a train down to Bridge Street in late 2005, a materials trip working from Rugby for the CMD. A while later my mate was sent down there to learn the road and it closed that very day! Don't recall the exact date though, sorry.
