[edit] History

The Nowergup Depot was built in 2004, and completed on May 20, 2004.The depot was designed for storage and servicing of the incoming B-series railcars, all the trains from Clarkson to Mandurah. The depot was opened on the 13th of June 2004 by the then Premier Geoff Gallop and Planning and Infrastructure Minister Alannah MacTiernan.

[edit] Facilities

Nowergup Depot has facilities to store, service and clean 36 railcars. The depot is 2.5 kilometre long, and a number of kilometres deep, restricting Nowergup Depot's ability to receive regular mobile phone transmission signals. This has forced the staff of Nowergup Depot to convert to using CDMA mobiles.
