In 2022, work began to upgrade the depot to accommodate the incoming Class 810 trains.[4]
Allocation
Stock that is allocated and maintained at Derby Etches Park are the East Midlands Railway Class 222, Class 180, and Class 156 fleets. East Midlands Railway also stable Class 153s, Class 158s and HSTs at Derby Etches Park, although these are maintained and allocated elsewhere; Neville Hill depot for the HST fleet, and Nottingham Eastcroft depot for the 153 and 158 fleets.
