The Filton Triangle depot or Stoke Gifford depot is a railway depot being built for high speed trains procured under the Intercity Express Programme. The depot is situated between Filton and Stoke Gifford at a junction intersection of the Cross Country Route, South Wales Main Line and the Filton to Avonmouth (docks) line.
