Wiri railway station

Wiri railway station is a station on the Southern Line of the Auckland Railway Network in New Zealand. Used exclusively for train crew operations, it is not open to the public. The station has a small platform and shelter building, and a pedestrian bridge providing access to the platform from Wiri M

aintenance & Stabling Depot (Wiri Depot). Access to the platform is controlled by the depot. Wiri yard and station are adjacent to Matukutūruru, a scoria cone once reaching 60 metres higher than the surrounding land, which was quarried away to provide a supply of ballast for New Zealand Railways. The original station was not constructed primarily as a passenger station, but as an 'industrial' station to provide access for quarry workers. Wiri Junction is at the northern end of the station - where trains switch between Ports of Auckland Inland Port, Wiri depot, the Manukau Branch and the North Island Main Trunk. To the north is Puhinui railway station and to the south is Homai railway station.
