Waterloo Interchange (Hutt Central) Railway Station
Waterloo Interchange railway station is a two-platform suburban railway station in Waterloo, a suburb of the city of Lower Hutt in the Wellington region of New Zealand’s North Island. It stands on the Wairarapa Line (formerly the Hutt Valley Branch), between Pohutukawa Street and Cambridge Terrace. (Cambridge Terrace joins the Eastern Hutt Road, the main thoroughfare along the eastern side of the upper part of the Hutt Valley.) Waterloo operates as an important transit hub for Wainuiomata, as buses from Wainuiomata connect with the Hutt Valley system through this station. The interchange is served by Wairarapa Connection and Hutt Valley Line trains.
The station is over the road from an ambulance station and from a shopping precinct, and stands next to a bus depot. It is a few minutes' walk from a now closed fire station. Due to its status as an interchange, it serves as a point of convergence for several bus routes.

“What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“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)
“...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
