- Claisebrook railway depot, Perth
Claisebrook Depot is a Transperth Trains depot next to Claisebrook station, at 122 Kensington Street, East Perth. When trains leave this depot, they connect with the Midland/Fremantle, Armadale, or Clarkson lines. It is the original train depot in Perth.
History
The depot was built when rail travel first took off in Perth (late 1890s, early 1900s) and has housed steam, diesel, electric trams(maintenance), and currently electric multiple units of both the A and B series railcars. It has also been a marshaling yard for various freight consists.
The depot's primary purpose is to service, refurbish and upgrade Transperth's A-Series railcars. The newer B-series railcars may also be stabled at Claisebrook Depot for use during peak hours on weekdays and for events such as the Australian Football League games on weekends at Subiaco Oval. The depot has also recently started serving as the facility to maintain and refurbish the diesel-electric Transwa Australind railcars.
Facilities
Claisebrook Depot has facilities to store, maintain and clean a large fleet of railcars.
