[edit] Eastern and Southern Line Services

Since 2000, the country town of Pukekohe has been the southern terminus for the Southern and Eastern Lines. However most suburban trains start or terminate at the former terminus at Papakura (18.2km north of Pukekohe). Only selected services on normal working days start and terminate at Pukekohe and even then the majority of Pukekohe services run during peak hours. On public holidays and weekends there are no service to Pukekohe Station.
