Other depots

I'm wondering if this article is the victim of a misunderstand as to the meaning of the word depot in English. Our own article (at depot) says that a depot is a place or building where buses (see bus garage), trains (see motive power depot), or trams belonging to a particular company are stored and serviced when not in use. And this would be normal English usage. If you want to specifically refer just to places where maintenance and repairs are done, the term workshop fits better than depot.

This article seems to concentrate only on the servicing and repair and ignores the storage aspect. I'm pretty sure that there are more than four depots on the Berlin U-Bahn, if you use the normal English usage. For example at Krumme Lanke or Warschauer Straße, where there are fairly substantial rail linked buildings that look like depots to me.

At the very least, this article should acknowledge this issue. -- Starbois (talk) 16:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
