The construction of a new depot for the high-speed HS2 line

The construction of a new depot for the high-speed HS2 line is planned in Calvert, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Developed in collaboration with HS2 WSP, Grimshaw, and Grant Associates, it promises to become a key center, creating around 300 jobs.

Opening the market for private railway operators in France

The depot will be equipped with workshops, offices, warehouses, training facilities, and a base for the British Transport Police.

Its functionality extends to servicing the HS2 track and systems during the night when trains are not running.

With connectivity to the East-West Rail (EWR), the depot will have access to heavy equipment and materials, ensuring seamless operation.
