I thought nowadays on t'interweb, sarcasm was denoted with a * after the sentence?

You thought wrong.

Wasn't sure where to put these - bus related, but in Motherwell...

These are the remains of the Motherwell depot.

Jeez-o they got to work there pretty quick. Another one bites the dust It was never GCT, but it's got some history behind it.

Just last year.

Hmm, that sign is tempting

Too late, there's nothing left but piles of rubble now.

I was really shocked at how quickly the whole place disappeared - glad I got those pictures when I did! They're from the Hamilton Road side, rather than the Airbles Road side.

Kenny - sorry I never pinched the sign for you. The road was busy and some guy in a car pulled up right behind me to watch me as I was taking pictures!

That's ok Ally, I forgive you

Great photos, was the place lying open, or did you go over the gate ?

Talking of deralect buildings in Motherwell it has came to my knowledge that EWS plan to close down the railway depot some time this year. Was told it should have closed down in may so went doon with a mate and got a last look round the yard before it closed.

Yet annouther target for vandals no doubt!

Then and recent - Motherwell style...

There was a fire in one of the buildings a while ago and it was never repaired . The building is still blackened with the roof burnt out as far as I know.

Also, graffetti artist already tag the rolling stock that sits outside the depot and much of that looks rusting, disused and broken.

Say it ain't so! They can't close Motherwell Depot: The mighty 66B of lore. Prince of motive power miscellany. This was one of my all-time favourite haunts back in the day and a great hive of activity. Surely this can't happen!
