List of Wellington railway stations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 117.104.176.119 (talk) at 15:37, 1 November 2008. The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This page lists all railway stations in Wellington, New Zealand used for passenger services. All station buildings except Petone, Waterloo and Wellington are owned by Tranz Metro, a division of KiwiRail. Greater Wellington Regional Council owns Petone and Waterloo, and the KiwiRail owns Wellington directly. The railway infrastructure is owned by ONTRACK. All stations are served by Tranz Metro; Paraparaumu and Wellington are also served by Tranz Scenic's Capital Connection and Overlander, and Porirua by the Overlander (southbound only).

All present-day Wellington region stations have platforms, the majority of which were designed to accommodate 9-car DM/D EMUs. Exceptions to this include the Wairarapa stations (which have platforms long enough for either 3 or 7 car sets of SW-class carriages) and those on the Johnsonville Line, which predominantly have platforms designed for 4-car sets.

Notes

  • ^ Stations
a Metal crushing plant, 1908 to 1920s; siding to plant, 1912 to late 1930s; closed completely 1960s or 1970s?
b Parkside until 1964. Never used for passenger traffic.[1]
c Renamed Manor Park when the Hutt Valley Branch became the main line.[1]
d Demolished in 1938.
e Originally Dolly Varden.[1]
f With the closure of the Western Hutt section of the Wairarapa Line and the formation of the Melling Branch from the remainder, Melling station was relocated to the south side of the Melling Link road.
g Replaced by Andrews, to the south.
h Originally Pukerua.
i Thought to have been reopened during WW II to serve the nearby hospital. On or near the site of the Silver Stream Railway's McKirdy station.
j This station was a stopping place for the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company near present-day MacKays Crossing. It should not be confused with Wainuiomata or the Wainuiomata Valley (east of the Hutt Valley), which never had a public rail connection.
k On closure relocated and named Lambton.[1]
l Originally Lower Hutt.
  • ^ Dates
  • Cells containing a date with a question mark indicate a date derived from an ambiguous source or sources.
  • Cells in the Closed column containing a hyphen indicate the station is still open.
  • Cells containing only a question mark indicate that the date is not known, but the station has definitely been opened/closed.

Proposals

There are several proposals for new stations to be built along existing lines.

Paraparaumu Line

Greater Wellington's Western Corridor Plan calls for improvements to rail services in the Kapiti area, including two new stations: Raumati, proposed for completion in 2009, south of Paraparaumu, probably just north of the intersection of State Highway 1 and Poplar Avenue; and Lindale, proposed for completion in 2010, would be part of a larger transport hub north of Paraparaumu. However, a more recent decision by the council to invest its funds and resources in electrification and double-tracking to Waikanae, and the upgrade of Paraparaumu and Waikanae stations, has meant that consideration will now not be given to these new stations before 2010.[34][35] The Regional Council’s passenger transport committee has also recommended that electrification be extended to Waikanae, bringing the existing station there into the Wellington rail network — although the Western Corridor Plan did not envisage this occurring within the next 20 years, the committee now recommends it be completed by 2010.

The following stations have also been proposed, but not approved:

  • between Porirua and Paremata, to serve the new Aotea development;
  • south of Takapu Road, to serve Glenside and other expanding residential areas near Johnsonville;
  • at MacKays Crossing, between Paekakariki and Raumati (near the site of the former Wainui station);
  • in Tawa No 2 tunnel, to serve Newlands.

There have also been proposals to close either Redwood or Takapu Road, and either Pukerua Bay or Muri, to reduce transit times by reducing the number of stops. The suggestions were not included in the Plan.

Hutt Valley Line

Greater Wellington's Hutt Corridor Plan calls for it to "{d}esign and implement extension of electrification and services northward beyond Upper Hutt, including new stations at Timberlea and Cruickshank Road." These stations are not planned for construction until after 2016.
