Manor Park railway station is a suburban railway station serving the suburb of Manor Park in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. The station is located on the Hutt Valley section of the Wairarapa Line, 23.7 km (14.7 mi) north of Wellington, and is served by Tranz Metro on behalf of the Greater Wellington Regional Council. Trains stopping at Manor Park run to Wellington and Upper Hutt. The station has an island platform between two tracks.
In 1954 the Hutt Valley Branch became the main line, and the Melling-Haywards section was closed. A new station was erected at Haywards (now called Manor Park) where the new line from Pomare joined the existing line north. The old Haywards railway station had been opened (with Belmont railway station) on 15 December 1875.[2]
The station got a new "park and ride" car park with a linking pedestrian overbridge as part of the new $42 million interchange south of the station between State Highway 2 and State Highway 58 over Haywards. Work on the interchange commenced in 2015[3] and was completed in 2017.
