Mal as i have said the rest of the depot can house them as well.As i also
said if you were to re jig the carpark you could get the more in and just
like the shed roads the outside ones are longer than the middle ones,so
qhen the depot went all Z in 87 each group of roads was 4,3,4 plus a topper
or lockcar in the old language,and if they were to lose some Z's or shared
rolling stock as i outlined it would be a viable option.
