Sturges Road railway station in Henderson is on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network. It has a park and ride facility available.
History[]
The station was opened on 30 April 1934, with other improvements to the Northern Line services.[2][3][4]
For many years this station's name was mis-spelt as Sturgess Road. The road was named after a local family living in the area in the 19th century called Sturges, but the incorrect spelling remained in use for many decades until it was corrected in the 1990s.
Services[]
Western Line suburban train services, between Swanson and Britomart, are provided by Auckland One Rail on behalf of Auckland Transport .
