Motherwell TMD

Motherwell TMD is a closed locomotive Traction Maintenance Depot situated in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The depot code is ML.

This depot was owned by EWS and was used for the maintenance of their fleet of Diesel locomotives and wagons.

This depot closed in 2007, with its operations relocated to nearby Mossend, following the life expiry of Motherwell depot.

It was damaged by fire in 2002, and although some repairs were carried out to allow the depot to continue functioning, it was not fully repaired, adding to speculation over its impending demise.

Its closure leaves EWS without a major traction maintenance depot in Scotland.
