List Of Wellington Railway Stations
This page lists all railway stations in Wellington, New Zealand that are or were on Wellington's suburban passenger rail network. Ownership of all station buildings except Wellington was transferred to Greater Wellington Regional Council on 1 July 2011. Wellington Station is owned by KiwiRail, along with all station platforms and other railway network infrastructure. All stations have platforms, the majority of which were designed to accommodate 9-car DM/D EMUs. Exceptions to this include the Wairarapa stations, which have platforms long enough for either 3 or 7 car sets of SW-class carriages; and those on the Johnsonville Line, which have platforms designed for 6-car Matangi sets. Most stations in the suburban network have been upgraded to accommodate the "Matangi" electric units to be introduced from 2010.

“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
