| History | |
| Opened | 1928 |
The depot opened in 1928 and was one of four electric train depots built under the Bradfield electrification plan, the other depots being at Mortdale, Flemington and Punchbowl (later closed).[1]
The depot features nine roads under the main shed (numbered 1–9), five outdoor roads (numbered 11–15), two of which (11 and 12) are elevated, a train washing facility (16 road) and several short outdoor storage sidings. There are also 8 sidings south of depot used for stabling only. The track layout is such that trains can only enter from the south.
It is a stabling location for A (Waratah) sets, T (Tangara) sets and H (OSCAR) sets and crew depot, for services on the Central Coast, Northern, North Shore, and Western lines. It is also a maintenance depot for T sets.
