Depots are better off ''out in the sticks'' as that is by far the best
place to berth and hence maintain anything that has any kind of London

Salisbury, LM at Northampton,

And previously of course at Bletchley so hardly a drastic move and
presumably Aylesbury was built to free up very valuable land at Marylebone
and surely built by Network SE not Chiltern Trains.



Yes, the present Aylesbury depot was constructed in Network SouthEast
days as part of the so-called "Total Route Modernisation" of the
Chiltern lines.
