Blackburn King Street TMD
Blackburn King Street TMD is a railway traction maintenance depot in Blackburn, Lancashire. It opened in late 2017 and serves as a stabling, cleaning and maintenance point for diesel multiple units operated by Northern Trains, the largest operator in Northern England.
The depot, initially known as King Street depot, was approved by Blackburn with Darwen Council in September 2016 as part of a wider investment in the area's rail infrastructure. It was built on the Wrangling site, near Blackburn station on the East Lancashire line, where there used to be coal sidings.
Construction was carried out by the Buckingham Group (based in Stowe) at a cost of about £23 million. It was completed in August 2017, officially opened in October, and became operational in November 2017.
Blackburn King Street TMD has six sidings and can stable up to 30 diesel units. It currently houses Class 150, Class 156 and Class 195 trains.
