The train depot will have an Operation Control Centre (OCC), a Depot Control Centre (DCC), a stabling yard with capacity for 90 four-car trains, administration buildings, storage warehouses, workshops capable of servicing 11 trains concurrently and ancillary facilities for storage, cleaning, maintenance and overhaul to ensure smooth and safe operations of the TEL train fleet and associated railway systems.

The bus depot will provide parking and maintenance facilities for at least 550 buses.
