Info
Fratton Traincare Depot is a traction maintenance depot in Portsmouth, Hampshire. The depot occupies the site alongside Fratton railway station, with two of the sidings right next to Goldsmith Avenue. It has a carriage washer and is the fuelling point for the 158s and 159s.
The depot has a train shed with two pitted roads for maintenance of rolling stock. Class 444 and 450 units berth overnight there, and there are stabling sidings and bay platforms at Portsmouth & Southsea station all of which come under the control of the depot at night.
Trains stabled here are generally Class 444 and 450 desiros, but 158 and 159 diesel trains are occasionally also stabled here. Great Western Railway and Southern stop at Fratton, and can stop their 158, 313 and 377 trains in the depot if need be.
