Swanson Railway Station is on both the Western Line of the Auckland railway network and the North Auckland Line. It is the westernmost and northernmost point of the electrified network.

The station became the terminus of the Western Line in July 2015, when urban train services to Waitakere station ceased because the Waitakere-Swanson section of track was not electrified. A bus shuttle service operates between Waitakere and Swanson stations.[2]

The current station building was relocated from Avondale Railway Station following the upgrade there.
