Mangere Train Station is on the Eastern and Southern Lines of the Auckland railway network. It had an offset side platform layout with no connection between the two platforms. The northbound platform is disused.
Because of lack of patronage, from 25 October 2005 the only services stopping at the station were four south-bound morning peak services to set down passengers on school days only, for pupils of nearby King's College. The station exit was close to the school.
Pupils going home would use Middlemore Train Station, which is approximately 800 m to the south.
The station will close permanently on 9 December 2011. The closure was proposed due to the limited number of services (only four trains per day during the school term), the closeness of Middlemore Station, and the cost to upgrade the station to meet current standards. There was only very limited opposition from the public.[1]
