Manchester International Depot is a train maintenance depot in Manchester, England. It was constructed next to Longsight depot in the early 1990s as part of a plan to operate Regional Eurostar international train services from Manchester to Europe via the Channel Tunnel.
By the time that Eurostar services became operational through the Channel Tunnel in 1994, it was decided that regional Eurostar services from Manchester and Glasgow to Paris and Brussels were not economic to run, due to their long journey times compared to air travel: 500 mi Manchester-Paris and 760 mi Glasgow-Paris. However, the depots and trains had all but been completed, by this time, and trial runs operated on both main lines.
