Summary[edit]

Description
English: Oxford (GWR) Locomotive Yard.
View northward of the Yard, beside the main line on the west side just north of Oxford main (ex-Great Western) Station; the Shed is off to the left. This Depot (in the London District and coded 81F by BR) was quite small but was unique - in early BR days after the LMS Shed at Rewley Road closed in 12/50 - in that it serviced locomotives from all of the Big Four Groups; an LMS and an LNE locomotive are visible at the end of the first row in the photograph. Oxford Depot's allocation (58 steam locomotives and 3 ex-GW Diesel rail-cars) covered main-line as well as local duties, the steam engines comprising:- 18 4-6-0s, 1 4-4-0, 4 2-6-0s, 1 2-8-0, 1 0-6-0, 4 2-8-2Ts, 7 2-6-2Ts, 15 0-6-0Ts and 5 0-4-2Ts, also 2 ex-War Department 2-8-0s. The Depot was closed on 3/1/66, but remained as a refuelling point for Diesels.
