Norwich Crown Point

Crown Point was originally the name given to an area within the city of Norwich in the United_Kingdom. The name is now more commonly associated with the Crown Point Train Maintenance Depot (TMD) operated by 'one' Anglia Railways. Intercity and Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) trains are serviced and maintained here. It is sometimes nicknamed "Clown Point" by Railway Enthusiasts due to the fact that, in their opinion, the quality of the maintenance carried out there may be more suited to a Circus. This nickname, hovever, has its origins in truth. Many years ago, travelling circuses moved their goods by rail rather than by road. In order to avoid the chaos of unloading scenery and wild animals at the passenger station, a siding was built to allow the unloading to take place away from the general Public. The site chosen for this "Circus Siding" is now occupied by Crown Point Depot.
