_The Evening Post_, 30 July 1924:
    CARSHEDS AND WORKSHOPS
  The new car barns at #Kilbirnie are now practically completed, and will probably be formally taken over by the corporation from the contractors at an early date. In several respects the new sheds differ from the old sheds, their chief feature being that although there is a roof span of 67 feet, by 400 feet [20 x 120 m] in length, the building is clear of pillars and supports, a special form of steel roof girder having been employed to enable this to be brought about. A fireproof reinforced concrete wall separates the new barn from the old and each is shortly to be installed with a #sprinkler system to guard further against the risk of fire. The building is so planned as to be capable of extension both on the northern and eastern aspects.
  With the barns completed, and affording shelter for a considerable increase in tramway rolling stock (in conjunction with the Newtown and Thorndon sheds) steps will presumably be taken for a commencement of the new #tramways workshops at Kilbirnie…
