Bristol Barton Hill TMD is a traction maintenance depot located in Barton Hill, Bristol, England. The depot is located on the Great Western Main Line to the north-east of Bristol Temple Meads station.
Bristol Barton Hill TMD opened 1840 as locomotive depot. From 1870 it was used as a carriage and wagon depot. In 1960, a new shed was built to service the Blue Pullman. [1]
Locomotives returned in July 1995 when the depot was taken over by Rail Express Systems (RES) after Bristol Bath Road TMD closed. [2] In 1996 it was included in the sale of RES to EWS. [3] [4] [5]
In 2001 it resumed servicing passenger stock with Virgin CrossCountry Class 220 and Class 221s being serviced overnight. [6] In 2004, stored Class 56 locomotives were reactivated at Barton Hill before being exported to France. [7]
In 2011 Barton Hill was transferred within the Arriva UK Trains group from Axiom to Arriva TrainCare. [8] [9] As such it has also performed overhaul work on trains for Arriva Rail North, Arriva Trains Wales and First Great Western ( Class 158s), Chiltern Railways ( Mark 3s) and Tyne & Wear Metrocars. [10] [11] [12] [13]
As at September 2022, five CrossCountry sets were serviced at Barton Hill each night; four Class 220/221s and one Class 170. [14] It also serviced steam locomotives in between duties on the Torbay Express.[ citation needed]
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. [15]
