Fruitvale Road Railway Station is on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network. It is near local schools, including two major high schools.

[edit] Station Name

It is named after a nearby road. The road is not very well known, thus new passengers will most likely have no idea which suburb this station serves. It has been proposed to rename it 'Kelston' since it is in that suburb. It is quite close to Kelston Shopping Centre, Kelston Girls' High School and Kelston Deaf Education Centre.

[edit] Suburban Train Services

Suburban train services are provided by Veolia (New Zealand) on behalf of the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA).
