Allerton TMD

Allerton TMD

Allerton TMD is a railway traction maintenance depot situated in Liverpool. The depot is opposite the newly built Liverpool South Parkway and is visible to the north on the way to Hunts Cross. The depot is operated by EWS. The depot code is now AN but, in steam days, the shed code was 8H.

Until 2006, Merseyrail Class 507 and Class 508 sets were regularly sent to this depot for wheel turning. A new wheel lathe has opened at Kirkdale TMD thus ending the practice of sending units here.

Other units, including former Virgin Voyagers and goods carriages/engines have been stabled here. The depot is located very close to Garston Freightliner Terminal (Garston Docks) and also not far from Widnes Intermodal Depot.
