Clacton Carriage Servicing Depot is a stabling point located in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, England. The depot is situated on the western side of the Great Eastern Main Line and is adjacent to Clacton-on-Sea station. [2]
The depot code is CC.
Opened by British Rail in 1981, the depot was built with a three-road dead-end shed. [3] Around 1987, the depot had an allocation of Classes 302, 308, 309, 312 and 313 EMUs. [4] The depot lost its allocation of rolling stock in 1994, and was put to various uses before being scheduled for reopening around 2009. [3]
As of 2021, stabling is provided for Greater Anglia Class 321 EMUs. [5] The depot currently carries out cleaning and the servicing for the trains, during the night. [6]
In 2020, as part of Greater Anglia's rolling stock update strategy, a train lifting system was introduced so that trains could be lifted up from the depot floor. The previous system could lift a 4 car EMU but has now been upgraded so that they could lift a Class 755 BMU. [7]
