Railway depot construction work

Description

Nexus are proposing to develop land to the north west of the existing South Shields Metro Station to provide new buildings that will accommodate a training centre and a light maintenance facility. The training centre will include classrooms, lecture room, meeting rooms, mock control room, offices, staff room, canteen and lockers/changing/showers/WCs; the maintenance building will include covered tracks/inspection pits, platform/lobby/barriers (for training purposes), offices, meeting rooms, storage, staff room/canteen and lockers/changing/showers/wcs. To the west of the maintenance building there will be training tracks; a roofed but open-sided structure will provide a degree of weather protection to this training facility. The project will also include an element of permanent way, signalling and overhead line works to adjoin the facility to the main line. Unfortunately this was not awarded.
