As if we need another shopping centre in Auckland!. Wasn't there a special off ramp from the southwestern motorway into the Depot?.

Not off the South Western, it was off Mays Road, which was off the bridge over the Motorway. The closest off ramps to the depot either side were Maioro Street and Dominion Rd.

The Original Onehunga, May Road & Gaunt St City Depots were all Trolley Depot's.

They were inside the Drivers canteen at Roskill Depot. Photographed in about 2005 by myself....
