Shipley TrainCare Centre: More details of £100m rail depot on site of former scrapyard in Yorkshire revealed

In March Rail Minister Huw Merriman visited Shipley to announce that the Crossley Evans site would be transformed into an electric train care depot. The huge facility would bring over 90 jobs to the town, be completed in 2027 and be known as the Shipley TrainCare Centre. It would see electric trains repaired, maintained and stored in Shipley instead of the Neville Hill depot in East Leeds, which will temporarily shut as part of upcoming Transpennine route work.

“A detailed feasibility study of alternative locations was produced during 2021 which identified the location at Shipley as the most suitable in meeting the criteria required for a new depot facility. “The purpose of the depot is to provide day-to-day railway servicing, maintenance and stabling of trains associated with the Northern franchise and will see the typical class 331 and 333 electric multiple units used on the Airedale and Wharfedale routes utilising the facility.
