Train stations – new and upgraded
Eight new stations are in various stages of planning and construction.
• New Lynn and Newmarket (see page 26) to replace the old stations. The final detailed design
for the New Lynn rail station and bus interchange is complete and cost estimates are under
way.
• A detailed design for a completely new station (called Grafton Station) serving Auckland
and AUT universities and Auckland Hospital, is complete. KiwiRail is doing piling and bridge
works on site.
• Locations of stations on the soon-to-be reopened Onehunga Line at Penrose, Mt Smart,
Te Papapa and Onehunga were approved in October 2008. The detailed designs for Te Papapa
and Penrose were completed in July 2009, and the Onehunga design is progressing well.
• The location of the Manukau Station has been agreed and the concept design is substantially
complete. KiwiRail is undertaking piling work on the rail trench walls over winter, followed by
excavation of the piled walls over summer.
