Wallaceville Railway Station is a single-platform urban railway station serving the suburb of Wallaceville in Upper Hutt. The station lies on the Hutt Valley Line section of the Wairarapa Line between Upper Hutt Railway Station and Trentham Railway Station, and is located on Maclean Street, off Ward Street. This station is served by Tranz Metro's electric multiple unit trains, typically of the EM/ET class. Tranz Metro tickets can be purchased from the dairy on the corner of Maclean and Ward Streets. It is popular amongst commuters as there is a large park and ride facility as well as bicycle lockers.
Currently the stretch between Upper Hutt and Trentham is single track, but the 2011 – 2012 Regional Rail Plan (RRP) proposes duplicating the track between Trentham and Upper Hutt in 2012. As a result, Wallaceville will become a double-track station.[2]
The station was opened in 1879 [3]
