Information on Cleobury shed
===Coaching stock===
Six-wheeled stock was prohibited from the CM&DPLR. The original coaching stock comprised four ex-North London Railway four-wheel coaches, formerly LNRW numbers 1033, 1034. 1041 and 1043. Following grouping in 1922 these were replaced by GWR four-wheeled gas-lit coaches, two with four compartments and two longer 3-compartment brake coaches.<ref>Burton, Anthony and Scott-Morgan, John,'The Light Railways of Britain and Ireland', Moorland Press, 1985</ref><ref>Price (1995), pp. 35-36.</ref>
===Cleobury Mortimer sub-shed===
During the Railway's independent operation, the two Cleobury Mortimer locomotives were housed in a single-road shed at Cleobury Town. The caption of a picture in "''Branch Lines around Cleobury Mortimer''" (Mitchell and Smith, 2007) suggests this was built in 1917.<ref group="note">The Railway opened in 1908; if 1917 is correct, it is not clear what the arrangements were before that date.</ref> Simple repairs were carried out there, while major repairs were carried out at the Worcester works of the GWR.<ref>[[Bibliography|Price (1995)]] p. 33.</ref> After the Railway became part of the GWR on 1 January 1922, the shed at Cleobury became a sub-shed of [[Kidderminster Shed]]. The caption in Mitchell and Smith suggests the Cleobury shed closed in July 1938 (shortly before the end of passenger services), however other sources suggest it remained a sub-shed of Kidderminster until 1962<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_Railways_shed_codes Wikipedia List of British Railways Shed Codes]</ref>.
