Nowergup depot was built to service the
Transperth B-series electric multiple units that were ordered to operate service on the
Yanchep line (formerly known as the Joondalup line). It is owned by the
Public Transport Authority and leased to
EDi Rail /
Alstom Transport as part of its contract to maintain the B-series trains. The depot was completed on 17 May 2004 and officially opened on 13 June 2004 by
Premier Geoff Gallop and Planning & Infrastructure Minister
Alannah MacTiernan. It was built at the end of a single track extension of the
Yanchep line (then called the Joondalup line) beyond its then terminus of
Clarkson. The line was extended to
Butler in 2014 with the track duplicated and was further extended to
Yanchep in 2024. The depot is currently the base for
B-series and
C-series electric multiple units that operate services on the
Yanchep and
Mandurah lines. It is capable of holding 47 of the 3-car trains. ==References==
