Wimbledon Train-care Depot

View NW from an Up Local line train on the Durnsford Road fly-over: ex-LSWR main line to Waterloo, north of the junction with the Joint line (with the ex-Metropolitan District line to Putney Bridge, thence Earl's Court to Central London) - see train receding away on the left. The flyover on the main line was built in the 1930s, while the Train-care Depot is an extended version of an earlier depot, built here after demolition of the Durnsford Road power station that used to provide power for the electrified ex-LSWR lines from Waterloo. (Cf. Image]). [What is the small shed on the right?]
