Ngauranga train station

A single island train platform for commuter rail, sitting north of Wellington city on the edge of the rugged coastline.

Ngauranga Train Station currently serves as an active commuter station for the Ngauranga industrial area. Railway tracks sit on either side of the platform — one heading north, the other south. The Melling and Hutt Valley train lines stop here.

A small station building sits on the single island platform, while overhead wiring hangs above the tracks.

Built in 1966, the construction of the Wellington motorway meant a realignment of the railway into Wellington. The station sits on reclaimed land and access is through a subway tunnel under the motorway from Hutt Road.
