If the longer sidings are all used up, trains are stored at Laira TMD, Plymouth, and then make their way to Penzance railway station in the morning.

A few years ago, facilities at Penzance TMD were expanded to cater for the new fleet of Voyagers used by CrossCountry.

The fuel storage tanks at the depot are located behind the maintenance shed and are replenished on a daily basis by road deliveries.

Six long sidings were built to the east of the maintenance shed for stabling IC125's when not in use, which also have overhead gantry lights.
