To be designed in several stages, the rolling stock depot will mainly manage and repair trains whose final terminal is the Rail Baltica Ülemiste joint terminal.
It is noted that the depot must also provide repair and maintenance services to the remainder of the Rail Baltica 1435mm gauge train fleet.
According to Rail Baltica’s operational plan, approximately 26 high-speed trains and 16 regional trains will move in the infrastructure.
At the same time, the depot will be able to accommodate seven trainsets.
