Blackburn King Street TMD

Construction of Blackburn King Street TMD, which was then provisionally known as "King Street depot", was given the go ahead to commence by Blackburn with Darwen Council in September 2016, as part of a wider investment package in the area's rail infrastructure.^[2] The location selected for the new depot, which was known as "The Wrangling", was the site of disused coal sidings near to Blackburn station on the East Lancashire line.

Built by the Stowe-based Buckingham Group at a cost of £23 million, construction of Blackburn King Street was completed on schedule in August 2017, with official opening taking place in October. The depot became operational in November 2017.^[3]

Up to thirty diesel powered units can be stabled across Blackburn King Street's six sidings.^[4]

Unit classes which are currently stabled at Blackburn King Street are the Class 150, Class 156 and Class 195.
