Mangere Train Station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mangere Train Station is located on the Eastern and Southern Lines of the Auckland Railway Network. It has an offset side platform layout. There is no connection between the two platforms.
[edit] Station Closure
For many years patronage at this station was not sustainable, so the decision was made to close this station. However this station is near King's College. Since many of their students use the train to go to school, it was decided to keep the southbound platform open. This is to allow students to exit close to school.
The current timetable, introduced on 25 October 2005, formally closed the Mangere Station -- it does not appear at all on the current timetable. However there is a small note stating that certain southbound morning peak services shall stop at Mangere to set down passengers on school days only.
The northbound platform is now disused. Students from King's College going back home via the train now use the nearby Middlemore Station which is not far away.
