Bristol Barton Hill TMD is a Traction Maintenance Depot located in Barton Hill, Bristol, England. The depot is situated on the Great Western Main Line and is northeast of Bristol Temple Meads station.
Allocation[]
A class 08 is based at the depot for shunting. The only trains stabled here on a regular basis are CrossCountry Class 220/221 Voyagers but other multiple units and locomotives visit for repairs or refurbishment.
Incidents[]
CrossCountry 221129 derailed on 24 March 2014 just outside of the depot. The train suffered minor damage and nobody was injured, but the track was heavily damaged, being pulled 6 inches sideways and sleeves being destroyed along with cables and the track needed grinding down.[2]
The depot was home to Tyne and Wear Metrocar 4022 between May 2017 and October 2019 after a derailment at Gosforth Depot. Repairs to the unit were halted in June 2017 following an insurance dispute.[citation needed]
