With growing congestion pressures on NTL’s major depots, improvements to cleaning, servicing, and maintenance facilities to complete A-exams at Barrow at Barrow were identified and reviewed in a Feasibility Study in June 2020.

This Enhanced Fuelling Road (fuelling, CET, tanking) design and build is driven by the need to lengthen the rolling stock that use Barrow Carriage Sidings servicing facilities to 6 car operations from the December 22 Timetable.

• New maintenance shed.

• Permanent carriage wash

• 6-car refuelling system

This is a Depot Facility Owner sponsored change under Part B and Part C of the National Depot Access Conditions, which is concerned with the installation of a new Service Road apron and walkways with facilities to dispense diesel fuel, AdBlue tanking water, potable water and much more.
