good reason not to.
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.
I'm sure I have seen at least one plan of the Reading redevelopment with
Crossrail depot on it, possibly only sidings. It was the one where the
map was a tear-drop shape if that gives a clue to which one I mean, I
had a copy on this machine but must have deleted it.
