[2] Over time the focus of the maintenance activities at the depot changed from passenger carriages to freight locomotives.
In 1995, a consortium known as North and South Railways purchased the parcels division of British Rail[5] and, with it, the Euston Downside Carriage Maintenance Depot.
[8] After locomotive-hauled trains were replaced by Pendolinos in 2002[9] and the Royal Mail traffic was transferred to the roads in 2003,[10] the depot became obsolete and closed in 2004.
[11] In 2018 the depot was demolished in advance of the start of tunnelling work for the High Speed 2 Euston approach tunnels and the extension of Granby Terrace Bridge.
