The original engine shed was closed in 1893, and a new eight-road standard GWR pattern shed along the lines of those at Salisbury and Exeter—with northlight pattern roof—was constructed under the initial code NA. The coaling stage was a non-standard wooden trussed lean-to affair, with the coaling ramp level with the yard, while the approach roads where the locomotives were refueled some below yard level. This made adding an ash shelter later during World War II especially easy. The single standard over-girder pattern turntable was installed in 1926.
