Tironui railway station was a station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand, south of Auckland between Takanini railway station and Papakura railway station. [1] [2] It had a station building and a 92 m (302 ft) long, 42 cm (17 in) high platform. [3] Electric light was added in 1933. [4] According to Scoble, it was opened on 10 May 1926 and closed on 13 August 1983. [5]
The opening of the station added 2 minutes to the schedules of Auckland-Papakura trains. [6] Puhinui, Homai and Te Mahia all opened at about the same time as Tironui, to cater for the expansion of Auckland's southern suburbs. [7]
The railway through Tironui was opened on 20 May 1875, as part of the Auckland and Mercer Railway, built by Brogden & Co, [8] who extended it from Penrose. [9] Duplication of the tracks between Papatoetoe and Papakura, through Tironui, started in 1929 as an employment relief scheme [10] and was completed on 29 March 1931. [3] It was electrified in 2015. [11]
The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "expansive view" for Tironui. [12]
In 2015 Auckland Transport agreed to investigation of a potential station site at Tironui, which could be opened if growth requires it. [13] Other potential new rail stations looked at were Paerata, Drury and Drury West. [14]
