Prior to the services cessation in 2012 it was also served by the Overlander long distance train between Wellington and Auckland.HistoryThe station was opened by the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company (WMR) in 1886 as an intermediate station on the Wellington-Manawatu Line. The first station was built in the northern part of Levin near Tyne Street, and was replaced in 1894-95 by a station near the centre of Levin. In 1909 this station was destroyed by fire, and replaced by a station 10 chains (200m) south.

Well the station might be short on amenities and people but it has a bit of charm. It's nice to see the old traditional wooden stations still standing. It would be great if it could be tidied up some more and put to improved use.
