Pukekohe railway station is a temporarily closed railway station in Pukekohe, New Zealand. It is the southern terminus (but not for electric services) of the Southern Line of the Auckland railway network.
Pukekohe was 30 mi (48 km) south of Auckland in 1882,[3] or, in 1943, 30 mi 1 ch (48.3 km) via Newmarket, or 32 mi 17 ch (51.8 km) via Ōrākei and 61 m (200 ft) above sea level.[4] In 1913 the station was rebuilt to the south, away from the town centre and it was converted to an island platform in 1941 and rebuilt again from 2016.
