Springs Branch? It seems to be home MPVs and stored wagons today. An 08 is often seen trundling about too.
It has been a long time since Springs Branch was an operational TMD. After it closed EWS used it as a component recovery centre for a number of years stripping withdrawn locos of useful parts before scrapping the hulk.

Now used for wagon repairs, I think. There are trips from Warrington to Springs Branch & return about once a week, usually conveying a few wagons.
