The Fisons weed control train was stabled between duties at the former Lostock Hall MPD on July 15th 1982. The nearest vehicle was FA99900 in use as a spray control coach, and was originally a Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Company DMU car E56315 dating from 1958. Lostock Hall MPD was the last operational steam shed on the British Railways standard gauge network, and after steam finished in August 1968, it became a diesel depot until 1973. It then was used for repairing wagons & coaches, until closed completely in 1986, when the site remained derelict until demolition in 1990. The area remains undeveloped and the shed area with the footprint of the buildings and filled-in inspection pits, is still clearly defined.
