"Plymouth Laira shed closed in April 1964 and was replaced by a purpose built diesel shed"
ReplyDeleteWikipedia says:
The Laira marshalling yard alongside Embankment Road was closed in 1958 to make room for carriage sidings and a new diesel shed, which was fully opened on 13 March 1962, although parts had been in use since 1960.[6]
I moved to Plymouth in August 1962 and as we drove into the city to pick up the keys to our new house we went past the diesel depot and it was fully operational by then. I guess i started visiting the steam sheds part way through the winter term of 1962 and I can honestly say I never visited the diesel side.
