Crewe Diesel TMD Crewe Diesel Depot is a former diesel-electric locomotive Traction Maintenance Depot - formerly Crewe Diesel Traction Maintenance Depot or Crewe Diesel TMD - situated to the south of and visible from Crewe railway station. Built in 1958 by British Railways it was used as a maintenance facility for the new diesel locomotives that were at the time replacing steam traction across the national rail network. Following the Privatisation of British Rail depot ownership transferred to EWS, now DB Schenker and continued as a base for diesel traction, latterly becoming a facility for storing surplus rolling stock. In 2014 ownership transferred to Locomotive Storage Limited who have been and are continuing to renovate the site.
