Mt Albert Station improvements

Auckland Transport is doing major construction works at Mount Albert Train Station to improve the station area.

Labour leader David Shearer,  who is also MP for Mt Albert, visited the construction site at Mt Albert Station early in April with Auckland Transport's Project Director of Rail Improvements Nick Seymour. (see picture right)

April 2013 

Our contractors have been working well and now, with the bridge and concourse, new shelters and tar-sealed platform in place its possible to have a sense of how the station will look when finished.

Work continued through Easter to take advantage of the trains not running.

Have a look at the progress in more detail, and photos, in the Mt Albert Station newsletter of April 2013 (PDF 332kb)

This project recognises that well-designed facilities are a key element in attracting people to public transport. The upgrade will also improve access to the station, develop Mount Albert into a significant transport hub where passengers can easily transfer between trains and buses and link the rail station with the proposed town centre upgrade.

The station serves schools, Unitec and residences and more than 2 100 people a day use it.
