Locations - Doncaster Marshgate OTPD
Thanks to Ben Williams for the details about this location
One of the main Jarvis depots for the north east area.
Directions (view map)
Unfortunately the best vantage point for this depot is from the new road overbridge which has just opened, but as I discovered it is a no go area for pedestrians. As far as I know the only other way to see any machines is from the train - north of the station on the right hand side.
Usual machines
76003 is resident. DTS, Ballast Regulators and tampers as well as cranes nearly always present. The tunnel inspection trolley is also pretty much based here but hard to see from public areas. Also resident is the self loading concrete mixer which I believe is now OOU. Other RRs also present as well as small machines such as packers and clippers in the compounds to the north side of the bridge.

Usual machines - many, if not all of Fastline's fleet of Permaclippers and Ballast Packers now reside here. The concrete mixer and 76003 have now gone.

I cycled over the bridge and stopped for a rest!
