The contract for the second phase of the programme, including trains to run on the ECML was finalised in April 2014, allowing the construction of the Doncaster depot to begin, with the former Doncaster Carr DB Schenker depot closing in April 2014. The main contractors were VolkerFitzpatrick, on behalf of Hitachi Rail Europe, with RPS Group as project architects. The cost of the depot works was about £70 million.
