The Auburn Maintenance Centre is a train depot that is responsible for the maintenance of the Sydney Trains A set fleet operated by Downer Rail.
As part of the contract to build and maintain the Sydney Trains A sets, Reliance Rail built a depot on the site of the former Clyde Marshalling Yards adjacent to the MainTrain facility. It was opened by Minister for Transport John Robertson on 24 July 2010.
On 20 September 2014, an 11 road stabling facility was established to the south-east of the facility. Provision has been made for an extra five roads. In February 2017 it was revealed that subsidence had occurred underneath the depot after plastic cells had failed. Remediation costs have been estimated as high as $70 million.
The maintenance centre building has seven roads. It has stabling facilities on ether side with the whole facility stretching for two kilometres.
