Proposals

The GWRC 2009 Long Term Community Plan (LTCCP) indicates that it is considering introducing user-pays charges to some station carparks where demand exceeds supply. Some stations are being considered for expanded parking facilities where sufficient demand exists and suitable land is available, but necessary station upgrades to accommodate new rolling stock have constrained the amount of funding that can be committed to projects like improved Park-and-Ride facilities.

There are several proposals for new stations to be built along existing lines.

Kapiti Line

GWRC's Western Corridor Plan calls for improvements to rail services in the Kapiti area, including two new stations: Raumati, proposed for completion in 2009, south of Paraparaumu, probably just north of the intersection of State Highway 1 and Poplar Avenue; and Lindale, proposed for completion in 2010, would be part of a larger transport hub north of Paraparaumu. However, a more recent decision by the council to invest its funds and resources in electrification and double-tracking to Waikanae, and the upgrade of Paraparaumu and Waikanae stations, has meant that consideration will now not be given to these new stations before 2010. GWRC's passenger transport committee has also recommended that electrification be extended to Waikanae

, bringing the existing station there into the Wellington rail network — although the Western Corridor Plan did not envisage this occurring within the next 20 years, work was completed in February 2011.

The following stations have also been proposed, but not approved:
  • between Porirua and Paremata, to serve the new Aotea development;
  • south of Takapu Road, to serve Glenside and other expanding residential areas near Johnsonville;
  • at MacKays Crossing, between Paekakariki and Raumati (near the site of the former Wainui station);
  • in Tawa No 2 tunnel, to serve Newlands.


There have also been proposals to close either Redwood or Takapu Road, and either Pukerua Bay or Muri, to reduce transit times by reducing the number of stops. The suggestions were not included in the Plan, but Muri station was closed on 30 April 2011.

Hutt Valley Line

Greater Wellington's Hutt Corridor Plan calls for it to "[d]esign and implement extension of electrification and services northward beyond Upper Hutt, including new stations at Timberlea and Cruickshank Road." These stations are not planned for construction until after 2016. A branch line to Wainuiomata
