St. Rollox was unusual in being purpose built for both locomotive and carriage and wagon works. In 1923 it became the main works of the Northern Division of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. In 1929 wagon repairs were moved to Barassie, leaving St. Rollox as the carriage repair centre.
Ownership of the works passed to British Rail; activities were reduced in the 1980s by BREL management. After the privatisation of British Rail the works was acquired by Alstom, and in 2007 by Railcare. The reduced site now operates as a rail maintenance depot.
