Wingate Railway Station is an intermediate station in Lower Hutt, New Zealand served by Tranz Metro's electric multiple unit trains on the Hutt Valley Line section of the Wairarapa Line.

The island platform station between double tracks serves the suburb and industrial area of Wingate.

History

The then Hutt Valley Branch to Waterloo opened on 26 May 1927. The branch line was extended to Epuni and Naenae on 7 January 1946 and to Taita on 14 April 1947. Double track was to Naenae only.

The Wingate Station was opened on 25 September 1950. Double track was extended to Wingate and Taita on 22 February 1953. With the opening of the section to Haywards (now called Manor Park) from 1 March 1954 and the closing of the Melling-Haywards section, this route became the main route to Upper Hutt and the Wairarapa.^[1]
