Glen Eden railway station is located on the Western Line of the AT Metro rail network in Auckland, New Zealand. The station house is a local historical landmark that was restored in 2001. A cafe is located in the old station building.
History
The station was opened on 29 March 1880 as one of the original stations on the North Auckland Line.[1] The station's location determined the placement of the nearby Waikumete Cemetery. Special trains ran from Auckland on Sundays carrying the deceased and their entourage, and a dedicated platform was constructed to serve these trains.[2] This unique function is one of the reasons that the station is registered by Heritage New Zealand as a Category II heritage building. The station was added to the heritage register on 30 October 1998, with register number 7435.[3]
The train station was the centre of the Glen Eden community during the turn of the century, with most stores and services located adjacent to the station.[4] The station habitually dealt with scrub fires, caused due to sparks from the locomotive engines and the adjacent Archibald's Sawmill.[4] The Waikumete Cemetery was opened in 1886, due to its proximity to the train station.[5] The station became a transportation hub for Waitākere Ranges holidaymakers, who would take coaches from the train station to holiday at guest houses located in places such as Waiatarua, Karekare and Piha.[6]
Services
Bus routes 152, 154, 172 and 172X pass by the station on the adjacent West Coast Road.[7]
