Corkerhill Depot
Welcome to scot-rail.co.uk, Scotland's online railway community. The group is for any rail enthusiast interested in the railways and trains of Scotland. It not only consists of the wiki that you're reading now, but a busy online forum and mailing list, which was accessible to registered users. From April 2024 the forum has closed, with a replacement started on Groups.io.

Operator: Abellio ScotRail?
Users: Abellio ScotRail?, First TransPennine Express
Corkerhill is the base for Abellio ScotRail's fleet of Class 156 DMUs, and as of December 2018, Class 158 DMUs. Currently, units are fuelled & cleaned for the next day of service. All A and B exams for the 156 fleet are scheduled to be done here including most of the wheelset/engine and transmission renewals and unscheduled repairs. Some of the EMUs may visit the depot but just for cleaning between duties or overnight stabling.
The depot is located on the Paisley Canal line, which is electrified from Shields Junction to Corkerhill to accommodate the EMUs.
