Carlisle Kingmoor DRS Depot Pass By - 24th February 2024

Carlisle Kingmoor TMD is a railway traction maintenance depot situated in Carlisle, England. The depot is operated by the Direct Rail Services (DRS). The depot was originally used to service diesel locomotives and diesel multiple units. The current depot code is KM. The original steam shed was called Carlisle (Kingmoor) and its shed code was originally 68A and later 12A.
The current depot is located on the opposite side of the West Coast Main Line to the original steam shed and was officially opened on 1 January 1968. Under British Rail control, the depot closed in 1987 and lay derelict until 1998 when the site was taken over by DRS. Since then a number of developments have taken place with the installation of a sand tower and increased office space.
Kingmoor marshalling yard is situated immediately to the north of the site.

I was heading home from Glasgow and decided to get my camera out to view the massive depot with a fair few locomotives on show here including a trio of Trans Pennine liveried class 68s which only arrived from Crewe recently a link to that can be found below. Filmed onboard Trans Pennine Nova 2 Class 397010.

I have some journey videos that will go live in gone near future having taken advantage of a Trans Pennine ticket sale.
