Neville Hill is a railway Train Maintenance Depot located in Osmondthorpe, Leeds, England on the Leeds to Selby Line. The depot is situated to the east of Leeds railway station.
The depot code is NL.
The loco shed at Neville Hill was built by the North Eastern Railway at a cost of £132,971. It opened in 1904. Sometime during the 1950s the four-roundhouse shed was reduced by half and given a new frontage.
A DMU shed is believed to have been added in 1958 along with servicing facilities for diesels. D2000 series 0-6-0 diesel shunters were the first diesel locos allocated to Neville Hill, probably in that year; the quartet in 1961 comprised D2242-4/6.
At the formation of British Railways in 1948 the depot code was 50B, under York (50A). In 1959 it was transferred to the Leeds District under Holbeck (55A) and re-coded 55H. After 1973 the depot code became NL.
In 1987, the depot had an allocation of Class 08 shunters. Classes 101, 108, 110, 111, 141, 142, 144 and 150 DMUs and Class 254 HSTs were also allocated.
The line from Leeds City station to Neville Hill depot was electrified in the early 1990s as a corollary to the East Coast Main Line electrification project. The electrification was energised in March 1993.
