Reddish Electric Depot


Reddish Electric Depot was an Electric Traction Depot located in Reddish, Stockport, England. The depot was situated on the west side of the line between Hyde Road and Levenshulme stations. Confusingly, neither of the Reddish stations - North and South - were on this line. It was built to service the electric locomotives and local electric multiple units used on the electrified Woodhead Line between Manchester, Sheffield and Wath. To enable access to the depot, the line from Fairfield Junction on the Woodhead Line as far as the depot was electrified.
Before their services stopped in April 1983, the depot had an allocation of EM1 and EM2 electric locomotives and Class 506 EMUs.
