Waterloo Underground Depot

Waterloo Underground Depot is a London Underground maintenance depot which stables the Waterloo & City line's fleet of 1992 Stock trains. The depot is entirely below ground and is situated beyond the Waterloo & City line platform end at Waterloo Underground station.[2] Trains from Bank reverse at the depot before returning. It is one of the smallest depots on the Underground network and one of few to be completely underground.
