Holtet depot

In the summer of 1917, Ekebergbanen constructed a depot at Holtet with six tracks to store twelve trams. It had a converter station and a workshop, but also served as an administration building.{{Cite book |last=Andersen |first=Bjørn |title=Ekebergbanen 75 år |publisher=Lokaltrafikkhistorisk Forening |year=1992 |pages=9 |language=no}} In 1919, it was expanded to accommodate a forge, a machine workshop and a painting workshop. In 1942, a new depot was built, which could store eight trams. Between 1951 and 1952, it was expanded once again.{{Cite web |title=Holtet trikkeholdeplass {{!}} Sporveien |url=https://www.sporveien.no/vare-tjenester/trikken/trikkeholdeplasser/e-i/holtet/ |access-date=2024-08-28 |website=Sporveien Trikken |language=no}}

The depot once held rolling stock owned by Ekebergbanen, but following the subsequent takeover by Oslo Sporveier, it held their rolling stock instead.{{Cite web |title=Holtet stasjon – Oslo byleksikon |url=https://oslobyleksikon.no/side/Holtet_stasjon |access-date=2024-08-28 |website=oslobyleksikon.no}} Currently, it is one of only two remaining depots owned and operated by Sporveien Trikken, the other one being Grefsen Depot.
