Ore Depot
Located to the East of Hastings was Ore Depot which was a 4 road shed which was mainly built as an EMU depot but also housed a number on Hastings units.
Ore depot was opened in 1935 and closed in March 1986.
With the closure of Ore depot the work along with many of the Ore drivers was transferred to the neighbouring StLeonard’s West Marina depot.
The depot was demolished in the 1990's.
