Remuera railway station is a station serving the suburb of Remuera in Auckland, New Zealand. It is served by the Southern Line and the Onehunga Line, and consists of an island platform which is accessed by a ramp from the Market Road SH1 motorway overbridge. The station was opened in 1873[1] and is one of the oldest remaining island platform stations in New Zealand.[2] It includes a weatherboard and tile station building, typical of those designed by George Troup.[3]
History
Original Station
Remuera station was first built in 1873 as a stop on the Auckland-Onehunga railway. By 1903, Remuera station was at its maximum capacity and Minister for Railways Sir Joseph Ward acknowledged that better capacity was needed on the line. A double track line was built to Penrose Junction. The Auckland-Onehunga line was later extended to Hamilton. New island platforms were also built at Newmarket, Greenlane, Ellerslie and Penrose.
Rebuilt station
The current Remuera station was rebuilt and opened in November 1907 for £1,149 and a toilet block was added shortly after for £80, but was demolished in 1982.[2]
The station saw a steady decline in freight and passengers and became unstaffed in 1942. In 1970, Alltrans built a large cargo depot, which closed in 1980s. During the same decade, the station was closed to all traffic, except for passengers and traffic to the private Alltrans sidings.[2]
Post Electrification
Between 2013 and 2014, Remuera station was electrified and the platforms were modified towards the southern end of the station to allow the AM Class EMU to operate. Currently, both platforms at Remuera station are open to all passengers, but remains unstaffed.[2]
From 16 January 2023 to 19 March 2023, Remuera station closed to all traffic and had rail-bus replacements to allow Stage 1 of the Rail Network Rebuild to allow the opening of City Rail Link.[4] Remuera station has remained open for Stage 3 of the Rail Network Rebuild, despite stations beyond Puhinui on the Southern Line being closed for refurbishment until March/April 2024.[5]
