Nowergup railway depot is a Transperth depot in the suburb of Nowergup, Western Australia
History[]
Nowergup depot was built to service the Transperth B-series electric multiple units that were ordered to operate service on the Joondalup line, It is owned by the Public Transport Authority and leased to Downer Rail / Bombardier Transportation as part of its contract to maintain the B-series trains.[1]
The depot was completed on 17 May 2004 and officially opened on 13 June 2004 by Premier Geoff Gallop and Planning & Infrastructure Minister Alannah MacTiernan.[2][3][4] It was built at the end of a single track extension of the Joondalup line beyond its then terminus of Clarkson. The line has since been extended to Butler with the track duplicated.[5]
The depot is currently the base for B-series electric multiple units that operate services on the Joondalup and Mandurah lines. It is capable of holding 47 of the 3-car trains.[6]
