Railway maintenance depot in Cricklewood, Greater London
Cricklewood sidings currently provides stabling for passenger trains, and is the site of a former steam shed and diesel traction maintenance depot located in Cricklewood, Greater London, England. It is situated beside the Midland Main Line, to the east of Cricklewood station.[2]

Passenger train stabling
Trains berthing in the stabling roads between services are cleaned and have their water tanks refilled. Train types include East Midlands Railway Class 360s[3] and Class 222 Meridians as well as Thameslink Class 700 EMUs.[4]
Domestic waste operations
The North London Waste Authority operates Hendon transfer station,[5] which is located immediately behind the northern end of the site and accessed through the passenger sidings. Freightliner Heavy Haul hauls a waste container train, nicknamed "The Binliner" from here to a landfill site at Calvert in Buckinghamshire.[6]
