They closed the wrong station – the wasteland of Ngauranga
- Wellington Scoop
- How strange that the regional council has renovated the wasteland station at Ngauranga, but has closed the Kaiwharawhara station which was used by five times as many travellers.

Questionable numbers in Regional Council plan to close Kaiwharawhara station
- Wellington Scoop
- The reason for closure is that the overbridge which was built in 1934 has recently been deemed unsafe because too little has been spent on maintenance and it is now heavily corroded from the sea air. As a result the station has been temporarily closed. Tranz Metro and the Regional Council are now considering what to do ‘long term’ with the least cost scenario to repair the bridge requiring half a million dollars. However, the mention of this work apparently triggers the legislative need for a passenger ramps to meet wheelchair users which would raise the cost to $2.4 million. So the Regional Council Engineers want to close the station, citing – in their report to be put to the Council tomorrow – that only 14 commuters use the service in the AM peak.
