THIS morning's Memories has a bit on shed plates - it's a railway thing. I can't make out the shed plate on the G5 picture which has featured in the column a couple of times now, but I clearly made a mistake when I said Darlington was shed number 51F. It was 51A and West Auckland was 51F.

"Although the West Auckland shed was not acutally in West Auckland," says B Watson for Bishop Auckland. "It was situated roughly where Hathaways Roofing Factory is now in Tindale Crescent."

Anyway, this is a list of shedplates for the North Eastern Region:

50A York 50B Leeds (Neville Hill) 50C Selby 50D Starbeck 50E Scarborough 50F Malton, Pickering 50G Whitby

51A Darlington, Middleton-in-Teesdale 51B Newport 51C West Hartlepool 51D Middlesbrough 51E Stockton 51F West Auckland 51G Haverton Hill 51H Kirkby Stephen 51J Northallerton 51K Saltburn

52A Gateshead 52B Heaton 52C Blaydon, Alston, Hexham 52D Tweedmouth, Alnmouth 52E Percy Main 52F North Blyth, South Blyth

53A Hull (dairycoates) 53B Hull (Botanic Gardens) 53C Hull (Springhead), Alexandra Dock 53D Bridlington 53E Goole

54A Sunderland, Durham 54B Tyne Dock 54C Borough Gardens 54D Consett

55A Leeds (holbeck) 55B Stourton 55c Farnley Junction 55D Royston 55E Normanton 55F Manningham 55G Huddersfield
