Takanini Railway Station is on the Southern Line of the Auckland railway network. The station has an island platform layout and is accessed from Manuroa Road, Station Road and Taka Street.

Proposed upgrade

A proposal was made by the former Papakura District Council to create a new station and Park and Ride facility at Glenora Road, next to the new Southgate shopping centre, to coincide with the new Addison residential development taking place on the former horse training track land.[3]

In 2012 the Papakura Local Board requested a new station and park and ride be built at Walters Road. This proposal was listed in Auckland Transport's draft land transport plan.[4]

Services

Transdev Auckland, on behalf of Auckland Transport, operates suburban services to Britomart, Papakura and Pukekohe via Takanini. Since 8 December 2014, the basic weekday off-peak timetable is:[5]

  • 3 tph to Britomart, via Penrose and Newmarket
  • 3 tph to Papakura, with 1 tph continuing to Pukekohe
