Location

Middlemore railway station is on the Southern Line and Eastern Line of the Auckland railway network in New Zealand. The station consists of an island platform and a side platform connected by two pedestrian overbridges. Access to the station is via Hospital Road: it is next to Middlemore Hospital.

Upgrade

Middlemore Station from platform level.

In September 2007, Counties Manukau District Health Board, ARTNL and ARTA opened a new railway footbridge and staff walkway at the station. The footbridge provides safer access to Middlemore Hospital from the staff carpark.

In 2023, KiwiRail commenced an upgrade at Middlemore station. The station upgrade included building a new third platform to service the third main line. As part of the third platform construction, Platform 1 was converted from a side platform into an island platform. The upgrade was completed in 2025. ^{[4] [5]}
