Glen Innes railway station is located on the North Island Main Trunk line in New Zealand. Eastern Line services of the Auckland railway network are the only regular services that stop at the station. It has an island platform layout. Every hour it has at least three services towards Manukau and at least three towards Waitematā. In 2006 the station had a major upgrade and is one of the most used non-terminus stations by the public.
The station was originally constructed, along with five others, in 1929 on the route of the Westfield Deviation, which was being built to divert the Auckland–Westfield section of the North Island Main Trunk line (NIMT) via a flatter, faster eastern route to link up with the original NIMT tracks at Westfield Junction.[1]
The station closed in March 2023 for Stage 2 of the Rail Network Rebuild, with an expected reopening in January 2024. The Eastern Line closed between Ōtāhuhu and Waitematā for major track renewal work and to prepare the Eastern Line for the opening of the City Rail Link.[2]
Auckland One Rail, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services between Waitematā and Manukau via Glen Innes. The basic weekday off-peak timetable is:[3]
Bus routes 74, 75, 76, 650, 744, 747 and the Tāmaki Link serve Glen Innes station.[4] [5]
