Penrose Station Penrose Station
Auckland Transport (AT) is extending the length of the platform at Penrose Station so longer trains can service the station for special events at Mt Smart Stadium.

Project overview
We have extended the length of platform 3 at Penrose Station by 15 metres at the northwestern end and by 40 meters at the southwestern end.

Other improvements to the station:
- New staircase at the southwestern end of the platform.
- New lighting, security measures (CCTV), and public announcement systems.
- Widening the existing access ramp.
Trains will continue usual services to Penrose Station during construction. Find out more about construction timeframes.
