Story

Mana Railway Station on the Kapiti Line section of the North Island Main Trunk Railway (NIMT) in the locality of Mana in the Paremata suburb of the city of Porirua, New Zealand is part of Wellington's Tranz Metro suburban rail network.It is double tracked with a platform each side and a subway between them.ServicesMana is served by electric multiple unit (EMU) trains operated by Tranz Metro, a part of KiwiRail. Trains run every day every 30 minutes outside peak times, and more frequently during peak periods. All services running between Paraparaumu and Wellington stop in Mana.KiwiRail Scenic carriage trains and diesel hauled KiwiRail freight trains pass by the station but do not stop.HistoryThe single platform halt was opened on 5 September 1949, when the first of the new DM/D class Electric Multiple Units (EMUs) ordered for the Hutt Valley Line were available. For traffic reasons only EMUs could stop there, although initially only 5 of the 13 trains each way on weekdays were operated by EMUs. The halt (along with the locality) was initially called Dolly Varden, but was changed to Mana in 1960 as many local residents did not like the name (from Dickens's Barnaby Rudge).

Address: Dolly Varden Cres, Porirua
State: Porirua

A little station for Mana residence. Close to supermarket motels and daily restaurants. It takes to wellington about 20 to 25 minutes. There is covered seating and wating area for both to wellington and Kapiti. Bright light and security cameras. Plenty of parking spaces. If you're a traveler, pay on board.
Good station for parking and access, highly recommend over Paramata which is the same fare zone.
