Reddish Electric Depot was an Electric Traction Depot located in Reddish, Stockport, England. The depot was situated on the west side of the line between Hyde Road and Levenshulme stations. Confusingly, neither of the Reddish stations - North and South - were on this line. It was built to service the electric locomotives and local electric multiple units used on the electrified Woodhead Line between Manchester, Sheffield and Wath. To enable access to the depot, the line from Fairfield Junction on the Woodhead Line as far as the depot was electrified.Before their services stopped (in July 1981 for the Woodhead locos, and December for the class 506 EMUs, as the line was converted to 25kV, for the Hadfield/Glossop passenger service) the depot had an allocation of EM1 and EM2 electric locomotives and Class 506 EMUs.
