History
Manurewa's first station opened on 20 May 1875.[1] Originally opening as a flag station, until 27 August 1884 when a booking office opened at the site.Template:Sfn This station had a centre-platform layout and was located behind what is now the Russell Road Reserve. From the north it was accessible from a connection to the Jutland Road bridge. To the south it featured a pedestrian overbridge, accessible from the pedestrian path between James Road and Station Road. On the other side of the overbridge was the railway lane, providing road access to the station from Station Road. After realignment of the tracks prior to electrification, very little of the original platform remains.
The station led to increased growth and services in Manurewa, and away from the township of Woodside (modern-day Wiri) along Great South Road.Template:Sfn During World War I, the station was moved further to the south when the rail was re-aligned.Template:Sfn During the 1870s, this location was a man-made lake on the property of Benjamin Cashmore, who used the lake to power a water wheel for his flour mill.Template:Sfn This station had a side-platform layout, connected by the footpath on the adjacent Station Road bridge. Closed after the current station became operational, it was removed in 2011 when the Station Road bridge was rebuilt. Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
