Branch Lines
Three branch lines are on the line:
- The Onehunga Branch line connects with the North Auckland Line at Penrose and forms part of the route of MAXX Onehunga Line suburban passenger train services operating between Britomart and Onehunga via Newmarket.
- The Auckland–Newmarket Line, also known as the Newmarket Branch, meets the North Auckland Line in Newmarket and provides a connection with Britomart.
- Further north, the Dargaville Branch branches off in Waiotira. The Dargaville Branch also boasted of a branch of its own, built by the Kaihu Valley Railway Co, and running northwestwards to Kaihu and Donnelly's Crossing.
The Okaihau Branch formerly left the North Auckland Line in Otiria and the Riverhead Branch in Kumeu.
