06 Aug 2010 ⋅ by ⋅ in Rail News ⋅ 0 Comments ⋅ Tags: , , ,

A new maintenance facility is to be built at Stourbridge Junction to house and maintain the 2 London Midland class 139 Parry People Movers that operate the Stourbridge Junction to Stourbridge Town branch.

The new depot will be constructed at the rear of the current Chiltern sidings and will incorporate some of the latest sustainable design features, in keeping with the sustainable credentials of the PPMs.

It is envisaged that the depot will be ready by the end of April next year.
