In 1896 a single siding, on the north side of the line, was allocated for Engineer’s use by the L&SWR and this was expanded into a small yard by the SR in September 1929. Following boundary changes at the end of 1962 the depot transferred to the WR and was closed in 1963. By December 12th, 1965 the sidings were totally out of use.
