The Auburn Maintenance Centre is a train depot operated by Downer Rail responsible for the maintenance of the Sydney Trains A, B and M set fleets.
History
[edit]As part of the contract to build and maintain the Sydney Trains A sets, John Holland built a depot on the site of the former Clyde Marshalling Yards adjacent to the MainTrain facility.[1][2][3] It was opened by Minister for Transport John Robertson on 24 July 2010.[4]
On 20 September 2014, an 11 road stabling facility was established to the south-east of the facility. Provision has been made for an extra five roads.[5][6] In February 2017, it was revealed that subsidence had occurred underneath the depot after plastic cells had failed. Remediation costs have been estimated as high as $70 million.[7][8]
During 2018, maintenance of the Sydney Trains M set fleet was moved to Auburn from Eveleigh Railway Workshops.[citation needed]
Description
[edit]The maintenance centre building has seven roads. It has stabling facilities on either side with the whole facility stretching for two kilometres.[2]
