It serves the suburb of Crofton Downs. Its name is similar to the pre-1908 name for the different Ngaio station, Crofton.

Electric multiple unit trains are operated by Transdev under the Metlink brand through this station in both directions to Johnsonville (to the north) and Wellington (to the south). The station is one of four stations on the line located on a curve.

History

Crofton Downs is the most recent station on the Johnsonville Branch, having been opened in 1963 to serve the then new suburb of Crofton Downs.[1] Patronage of the station was light in its early years, not becoming popular until housing in the area was well developed.[2]

Services

Trains run in both directions through this station, departing at half-hourly intervals, supplemented by a 13/13/26 schedule at peak times on weekdays.

The 22 bus route connects the station to Johnsonville and Wellington.

Facilities

This station has a single side platform, passenger shelter, and commuter car park. Behind the station is a Mitre 10 hardware store and customer car park.

In 2019/20 the GWRC planned to "renew" the Crofton Downs railway station.[3]Шаблон:Needs update
