Vicarstown Sheds (RWS)

Vicarstown Sheds is an engine shed located at Vicarstown. It served as the main sheds for the North Western Railway from 1915 to 1925, when the Motive Power Depot moved to Tidmouth Sheds.

History
The North Western Railway established Vicarstown Sheds as its main Motive Power Depot in 1915. The bulk of its main line fleet was stationed here, as was Thomas, Vicarstown's station pilot. It was a 'dead end' type shed with six roads.

Following the 1925 agreement with the LMS to allow NWR trains as far as Barrow-in-Furness, the sheds were no longer required. It was closed in 1927/8, and a smaller one was erected for engines operating the car-ferry service. The turntable was taken up and installed at Barrow, while the main Motive Power Depot moved to Tidmouth.
