Diesel locomotives layover during the weekend at March Traction Maintenance Depot. The depot has since been demolished and the site is now an industrial estate. The associated Whitemoor Yard was given a new lease of life when Temple Mills yard was partially closed to create a Eurostar depot.

March Railway Depot
Shunters layover at the weekend beside what I believe to be an old steam shed at this depot beside Whitemoor Yard. These depot buildings were demolished in 1987 and replaced with a modern facility. The depot closed in 1995 and an industrial estate has been built on the site.
