Glen Innes railway station is located on the North Island Main Trunk line in New Zealand. Eastern Line services of the Auckland railway network are the only regular services that stop at the station. It has an island platform layout. Every hour it has at least three services towards Manukau and at least three towards Waitematā. In 2006 the station had a major upgrade and is one of the most used non-terminus stations by the public.

History

The station was originally constructed, along with five others, in 1929 on the route of the Westfield Deviation, which was being built to divert the Auckland–Westfield section of the North Island Main Trunk line (NIMT) via a flatter, faster eastern route to link up with the original NIMT tracks at Westfield Junction. ^[1]

The station was temporarily closed between March 2023 and January 2024 due to Stage 2 of the Rail Network Rebuild. The Eastern Line was temporarily closed between Ōtāhuhu and Britomart for major track renewal work and to prepare the Eastern Line for the opening of the City Rail Link. ^[2]

As part of the Level Crossing Removal Programme, a pedestrian bridge and 2 lifts have been proposed for the station and is expected to start construction in October 2025. ^[3]
