Neasden Depot or Neasden Works is a London Underground railway depot on the Metropolitan line, located between Neasden and Wembley Park stations. Historically, when it opened, Neasden was also a manufacturer, producing locomotives and coaching stock for the Metropolitan Railway. The final locomotive produced at the works was in 1898. The depot is the largest on the London Underground, maintaining the Met's 58 London Underground S Stock fleet. 24 Jubilee line trains used to be stabled here, however these are now serviced in Stratford Market Depot. Although not part of the Depot, the Jubilee line signalling control centre is based on the same site. Major work was being undertaken at Neasden between 2010-2011, with much of the current 1930s layout being altered to make it suitable for maintenance of the S Stock, which began to be rolled out in 2010 to all London Underground Sub Surface lines. It is envisaged that Neasden will maintain all of the S Stock fleet bar the District line. Due to the rebuild, Neasden's steam shed has now been decommissioned and converted into the Depot's training facility. Access to the depot by road is just off Neasden Lane, and is the home to the only road level crossing on the Underground. It is also possible to access the depot by foot from Neasden station via a subway at the North end of the station. A final point of entry is at the end of Quainton street, in Neasden village, where the street names are named after the furthest extents of the old Metropolitan Railway: Quainton, Verney, Chesham and Aylesbury. ==See also== *Neasden station *Neasden Power Station *Acton depot *Metropolitan line 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neasden Depot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
