Wellington Railway Station

Major upgrade work was completed summer 2025, including a significant re-signalling project that involved a switch from manual levers, to a computer based system. This created the extra capacity and modern signalling system needed for a city’s busy metro service.

The re-signalling project is funded through the New Zealand Upgrade Programme (NZUP).
