Te Mahia railway station is on the Southern Line of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand. It has an island platform layout and is reached by level crossings from Great South Road and Ferguson Street.

There have been proposals to relocate this station approximately 200m north to a more visible location next to the Great South Road, near the overbridge.[3] In 2013, it was instead discussed that Auckland Transport would potentially close the station, as patronage numbers had not improved significantly. About 1,000 locals opposed the closure option in a petition, and noted that a new residential subdivision was to start construction in the area. Auckland Transport however noted that the planned houses were generally too far away from the station for potential passengers to walk to it.[4]

History

The station was opened on 16 August 1926.[5]

The station was renamed from Mahia to Te Mahia from 9 February 1951 by a decision of the New Zealand Geographic Board[6]

Upgrade

The station is due to be upgraded Spring 2012, as part of Auckland Transport's station upgrade programme.[7]

Services

Transdev Auckland, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services to Britomart, Papakura and Pukekohe via Te Mahia. The typical weekday off-peak timetable is:[8]

  • 3 tph to Britomart, via Penrose and Newmarket
