Pedestrian Bridge Improvements at Eastern and Southern Stations

11 November 2026

We're getting ready to install new canopies and anti-throw screens at Glen Innes, Te Mahia and Takanini train stations.

These will improve safety and provide protection from the weather for customers using the stations.

What to expect:

Preparation works begin from 1 January 2027.
Throughout January, canopies and anti-throw screens will be installed.
As trains will continue running on this section of the network, most of the work will be carried out at night to reduce disruption.
Some car parks may be closed at night to allow work to be carried out safely.
Work is expected to be completed by March 2027.

To minimise disruption, this work will be carried out during a planned rail closure.

What to expect

Preparation works begin from 18 December 2026.
The southern side of the Park and Ride will be closed until work is complete.
Installation of the weather protection and anti-throw screens is scheduled between 3–10 January 2027.
No trains will be running during this time. There will be no access to or through the station from Maru Road or Station Road while this work is underway.
The work will be completed during a planned rail closure to enable construction to be carried out safely and efficiently.

To minimise disruption, this work will be carried out during a planned rail closure.

What to expect

Preparation works begin from 21 December 2026.
Construction is scheduled between 28 December 2026 and 9 January 2027.
The work will be completed during a planned rail closure to enable construction to be carried out safely and efficiently.
No trains will be running during this time. There will be no access to the station from Great South Road or Fergusson Street while construction is underway.

We'll keep you informed and provide updates if any of these timeframes change.

Thank you for your patience while we carry out the final parts of this level crossing removal project.
