The new facility is designed for the maintenance of the 222 fleet maintained by Bombardier. This has allowed major refurbishment work to be carried out on the current facility. The intention is to maintain the 15 X fleet and also to provide an internal facility for train cleaning and under framing, a new office development and rest rooms for all staff. Photos to follow when completed. It is expected to be fully operational within the next 6 months
