The Hastings Railway Station has been gutted by a blaze

Firefighters arrived to a raging fire that ripped through the building, on the corner of Russell Street and Saint Aubyn Street just before 2am.

Five fire engines and two tankers were needed to extinguish the fire, which took several hours to put out.

Investigators have been at the station.

It's still unclear what caused the blaze and whether it's suspicious or not.
