Fratton Traincare Depot is a traction maintenance depot in Portsmouth, Hampshire. The depot occupies the site alongside Fratton railway station, with two of the sidings right next to Goldsmith Avenue. It has a carriage washer and is the fuelling point for the Class 158 and Class 159 DMUs.
The depot has a train shed with two pitted roads for maintenance of rolling stock. Class 444 and Class 450 EMUs berth overnight there, and there are stabling sidings and bay platforms at Portsmouth & Southsea station all of which come under the control of the depot at night.
Trains stabled here are generally Class 444 and Class 450 Desiro EMUs, but Class 158 and Class 159 DMUs are occasionally also stabled here. Great Western Railway and Southern stop at Fratton, and can stop their Class 158 DMUs and Class 377 EMUs in the depot if need be.
