Sturges Road railway station is on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network. Sturges Road has a park & ride facility available.
[edit] History
For many years this station's name was mis-spelt as Sturgess Road. The road was named after a local family living in the area in the 19th century called Sturges, but the incorrect spelling remained in use for many decades until it was corrected in the 1990s.
[edit] Services
Suburban train services are provided by Veolia (New Zealand) on behalf of the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA).
