They've been wanting to close Chester-le-Street depot since before I was born, according to family.
Weren't the old Park Lane and Philadelphia depots merged into Deptford, out of interest?
With it being over 100 years old, you would understand closing it. However, that said, it's got quite a historical purpose really (being the first depot in the company) and I'd like to see it become a transport museum.
