What is the smallest station in terms of passenger numbers or number of passenger train services per hour/day, to have a carriage shed/motive power depot or goods yard?
Effingham Junction has a train shed, which I believe is used to store network rail trains for track cleaning. It only has 8 passenger trains an hour passing through off peak - 4 to London and 4 to Guildford. This increases in the peak. The station never looks really busy off peak. Clearly the number of passengers has no relation to what needs to be stored there but I always go past thinking how lucky we are, from a nostalgia point of view, that this old brick building is still standing and in regular use.
There must be some stations in Scotland which have less trains but due to distance of the line require train sheds.
Are there any goods depots next to smaller stations?
