As I recall, the unofficial entry to the shed was via a gap in a wall alongside a road overlooking the shed, a scramble down a grass bank, in between sidings with condemned locos and then, horror of horrors! You could cross the main line to access the shed yard. Very foolish, highly dangerous and the shed foreman didn't take too kindly to it either!
My question is do others remember this as a way to access the shed or have I dreamt it all?
Thanks

hello paul.i do not know the access to 52A.
but if it was anything like the access to 65B(ST ROLLOX),
(YOUR SANITY IS INTACT!).at st rollox the indians would
come off there, (RESERVATION!) over the embankments,
through holes in the fence/walls to get coal ,or any other thing that could be of use to them,(OR THERE GRANNY!).
in those days access to sheds was very very easy.
