Bristol Bath Road TMD

Bristol Bath Road TMD

Bristol Bath Road TMD was a railway Traction Maintenance Depot situated in Bristol.

Originally built for the Bristol and Exeter Railway, it was rebuilt in 1934 by the Great Western Railway.

The depot was rebuilt in the early 1960's as its role changed from maintaining steam locomotives to diesel, it retained one of the turntables. The depot ceased all operation on 28 September, 1995, when its last operator was Great Western Trains, who transferred all operations to St Philips Marsh T&RSMD. [ [http://www.rail-reg.gov.uk/server/show/ConWebDoc.5540 1998 - Rail Regulator agrees closure of lines in former Bristol Bath Road depot : Office of Rail Regulation ] ] The depot was situated at the southern end of and within clear sight of Bristol Temple Meads Station. The depot code was BR, formerly 82A.

Former sidings to the east of Bristol Temple Meads now form a depot for freight trains. The site is now being redevloped for non-railway use.
