Cardiff Canton TMD, Cardiff

Although closed now for maintenance, the depot is still used in parts by other operators and companies, such as Colas Rail. When I first visited it was very much a major traction depot, with loads of locomotives to be seen, and all conveniently view-able from the footbridge that lead to the depot. I think I have heard that this footbridge has since been removed. When it closed as a major maintenance depot I really realised at that point that everything that I had known as an enthusiast could never be taken for granted. Everything is on borrowed time. "CF" would last forever, wouldn't it?
