Nottingham Eastcroft

Nottingham Eastcroft is a light maintenance depot located in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England. The carriage sidings are located near Nottingham station and are situated alongside the former Midland Railway line to Lincoln.

There has been a carriage shed on the site since at least 1899. On 8 May 1941 the Eastcroft carriage shed was hit by a bomb, completely wrecking it.

The depot code is NM.
