AIUI the Crossrail maintenance depot will be at Reading.


Crossrail's depot is at Old Oak Common, in the area currently given over to
tunnel segment manufacture.

The new depot being built at Reading is to replace the existing upper and
lower triangle DMU maintenance and stabling sites, and is also intended to
provide facilities for the EMUs planned for the route following
electrification, i.e. the second hand 319s. Space is also allocated for IEP
maintenance.
