The depot is accessible from both ends, and was built for the Central Line extensions under the 1935-1940 New Works Programme.

The main car shed has 16 tracks, and there is also a three-track car cleaning shed. In 1969, a flash butt welding facility was constructed at the depot, to enable welded rails up to 600 feet (180 m) long to be produced.
