Built on the site of King Street Coal Concentration Depot, which closed in 1995 (See image 21403), Northern's Traction Maintenance Depot in Blackburn opened in 2017 to service the 150s, 156s and 195s of their fleet. Six sidings can accommodate up to thirty coaches for light servicing, cleaning and refuelling but of course during the daytime there are rarely more than one or two units there.
