ended on 8 October that year. At the time, there were 47 locomotives allocated to five depots: Bassaleg (29 locomotives), Brecon (13), Dowlais (2), Rhymney (2) and Talyllyn (1). All were tank locomotives: most were of the 0-6-0T (23 locomotives) and 0-6-2T (18) wheel arrangements, there were also 2-4-0T (5) and 4-4-2T (1). Many of the locomotives were withdrawn by the end of 1934, leaving 14 0-6-2T; of these, one was withdrawn in 1947 and the remainder were inherited by British Railways in 1948, the last two being withdrawn in 1954. Bassaleg locomotive depot opened in 1875. The GWR gave it the code BSG, and it closed in 1926 – the locomotives were transferred to Newport (Ebbw Junction) depot. Brecon locomotive depot was shared with the Cambrian Railways, it opened in 1863 on the southern side of Watton station. The GWR gave it the code BCN and number 39. At the end of 1947, it had 14 locomotives: nine 0-6-0, four 0-6-0PT and one 0-4-2T. British Railways initially gave it the code 89B but in November 1959 it became a sub-shed of Oswestry, so the locomotives allocated to Brecon carried the 89A code of Oswestry. Regional boundary changes at the end of 1960 moved Oswestry into the London Midland Region, but Brecon remained in the Western Region, and again gained its own code, this time 88K. It closed in December 1962. Dowlais locomotive depot was on the western side of Dowlais Central station; it opened in 1898. The GWR gave it the code CVU and number 78, altering the code to DLS in 1940. At the end of 1947, it had a single locomotive – ex-TVR O4 class 0-6-2T no. 292. British Railways made it a sub-shed of Merthyr, so the locomotives allocated to Dowlais carried the 88D code of Merthyr. It closed in May 1960. Rhymney closed by 1930. Talyllyn was a sub-shed of Brecon, and closed in 1922. There were 114 coaching stock vehicles (76 four-wheel and 38 six-wheel) taken into GWR stock on 24 July 1922, of which 91 (60 third-class, 18 composite, 11 brake third and two saloons) were passenger carrying, and the remainder (17 brake vans, three horse boxes, two carriage trucks and an inspection car) non-passenger. There were also three "market vans", authorised to run in passenger trains. Virtually all of these were withdrawn within a few years of grouping – only two were
