Bournemouth Traincare Depot is a traction maintenance depot located in Bournemouth, South West England. The depot is situated on a spur off the South West Main Line and is to the east of Branksome station.[1]

The depot code is BM.

History

The site was originally the carriage sidings on the north side of the line between Bournemouth West Junction (the southern leg of the Branksome triangle) and Шаблон:Stnlnk. The carriage sidings had 11 roads before World War II (no. 1 road being closest to the main line); six more (12–16) were added during the war, with no. 17 road being added in 1956. The Southern Railway had provided a four-road carriage shed that straddled roads 7–10.Шаблон:Sfn

Bournemouth West was closed as part of the 1966/67 electrification scheme. The line between Bournemouth West Junction and Gas Works Junction (the eastern leg of the Branksome triangle) was closed and lifted, and the carriage sidings were converted into a depot for the new electric multiple units.Шаблон:Sfn

Roads 5 and 6 were lifted for the conversion, and roads 2 and 3 were truncated. A new four-track inspection shed was erected, covering the old no. 1 road, the two old main lines and a new road laid to the south of the old main lines. The carriage washing plant that had been installed in 1956 was retained, along with a long headshunt to the west for access.Шаблон:Sfn Bournemouth West Junction Signal Box was retained, but downgraded to the status of a groundframe.

In 1986 the inspection shed was modified with a two-track extension to accommodate the upcoming Class 442 units.[2]

Allocation

The original allocation was the entire fleet of 4-REP (Class 430, later Class 432) and 4-TC (Class 491, later Class 438) units. The spare 4-TC driving trailer could often be seen out in the open from the A338 Wessex Way.

In 1987, the depot had an allocation of Classes 423, 432, and 438 EMUs.[3] Around the same time, locomotive classes stabled there included Classes 09, 33, 47 and 73.[1]

The depot's current allocation consists of South Western Railway's Class 159 Express Sprinters, Class 450 Desiros, Class 455, 456 and 458 EMUs.Шаблон:Citation needed
