Chart Leacon Traction and Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot was at one time a railway depot located in Ashford, Kent, England. The depot was situated 1.5 mi (2.4 km) to the west of Ashford International station on the south side of the line to Pluckley railway station.[4]
The depot code is AF.
History
[edit | edit source]In 1987, the depot had an allocation of Class 09 shunters, and was used for stabling DEMUs and EMUs. Chart Leacon is now closed with its successor "Ramsgate EMU Depot" acquiring all class 375 stock.[4]
Allocation
[edit | edit source]In 2014, the depot's allocation consisted of Southeastern Class 375/3/6 EMUs.
Reopening plans
[edit | edit source]On 5 January 2019, Network Rail proposed plans to restore the sidings and stable Southeastern trains which will be displaced due to new Thameslink services using the existing Hitachi depot.[5] The landowner appealed against Ashford Council's approval of this project, but the High Court ruled in favour of the Council.[6]
