Doncaster Carr rail depot is a railway vehicle maintenance depot located alongside the East Coast Main Line in Doncaster, England. The original facility Doncaster Locomotive depot[1] was a major 12 road steam locomotive maintenance shed built by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) in 1876. The shed remained in use under the successor companies London and North Eastern Railway and British Railways, being significantly modified in the mid 1950s; steam locomotive use at the shed ended in the 1960s. In the latter part of the 20th century the facility was used for diesel locomotive maintenance. In the late 2000s the site was selected as a maintenance depot for trains procured under the Intercity Express Programme. Site historyDoncaster Carr locomotive shed (1876–2014)By the 1850s the Great Northern Railway (GNR) had constructed a railway line to Doncaster;{{sfn|Grinling|1898}} in the 1870s the railway facilities at Doncaster were undergoing enlargement, involving the reconstruction of the station, and the move of the locomotive servicing facilities to a site at Doncaster Carr suitable for accommodating around 100 engines.{{sfn|Grinling|1898|p=318}} The engine shed was opened on 27 March 1876 with approximately 80 engines brought from the former shed.[2] The 12 road engine shed was located in primarily agricultural land north of the GNR main line, approximately {{convert|1|km|mi|1|disp=flip}} south-east of the town centre, and well outside the urban extent of the town.[3] By 1900 the area included extensive sidings along the main line, as well as large wagon repair works to the south-east, south of the main line, and an additional smaller engine shed to the north-east of the main shed.{{#tag:ref|The London and North Western Railway built and engine shed at Doncaster after obtaining running powers on the GNR.[4][5] (See also Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway)|group="note"}}[6] By the late 1920s the shed had an associated "Cenotaph" mechanical coaling plant amongst its facilities.[7] The shed (then Doncaster Carr Motive Power Depot) was partially reconstructed in the mid 1950s, and the roof replaced.[8][9] Under British Rail the facility had shed code 36A.[10] By the 1950s the shed was allocated around 170–180 locomotives, and had sub-sheds at Mexborough (see Mexborough shed), Frodingham, Barnsley and Retford. Steam locomotives were withdrawn from the shed by 1966.[11] Land in the area remained predominantly in railway use through the second half of the 20th century. The land to the north was developed as sidings ('Doncaster Wood Yard sidings') by the 1970s.[12] In 2005 the depot (Doncaster Carr TMD/WRD) was operated by DB Schenker Rail (UK) as a light maintenance depot.[13] Doncaster Carr IEP depot (2014–)In 2009 Hitachi became preferred bidder for the Intercity Express Programme (IEP); a program aiming to procurement mainline highspeed intercity trainsets; in 2012 contracts were signed for the first phase of the project, for trains for the Great Western Main Line (GWML), with agreement reached on a second phase for replacement trains for the East Coast Main Line (ECML) – as part of the contract Hitachi was required to build a maintenance depot at Doncaster.[14][15] A planning application for a depot on the site of the former GNR engine shed was submitted in 2010.[16][17] Initial specifications were for a 4 road maintenance shed, for 10 car ({{convert|262|m|disp=sqbr}}) trains, with an additional single road shed for maintaining separate diesel power cars,[18] and facilities for re-fuelling, wheel re-profiling, washing, and toilet emptying, as well as overnight stabling facilities (sidings for 4 full and 20 half trainsets) and staff and warehousing. The main building was to be roughly {{convert|300|by|55|m|abbr=on}} on a site of approximately {{convert|13|ha|abbr=on}}. Road access was to be via 'Ten Pound Walk' which would require widening.[19][20] The plans were subsequently modified in further applications submitted between 2011 and 2013.[21][22][23] The 2012 plans removed the separate power car maintenance shed,[18] removed some cleaning facilities, and reduced the siding layout to a capacity of 20 five car (half train) sets due to changes in expected train timetabling, reducing the site's overall area.[24] The 2013 plans re-instated a bio-cleaning pit, extended the train wash, and added an additional mainline track connection south of the main maintenance shed.[25] The contract for the second phase of the programme, including trains to run on the ECML was finalised in April 2014,[26] allowing the construction of the Doncaster depot to begin,[27] with the former Doncaster Carr DB Schenker depot closing in April 2014.[28] The main contractors were VolkerFitzpatrick, on behalf of Hitachi Rail Europe, with RPS Group as project architects. The cost of the depot works was about £70 million.[29] See also
