Reviews
Very rude attitude of customer service. Simply asked staff a question and she said to me "CAN YOU READ NEW ZEALAND???" Was so taken a back. But I still said thank you and left. Never felt so disrespected.
The walking navigation is wrong, the station can not be accessed via Derry st. It is accessed via the footbridge from the over SH1 roundabout.
The ramp is too long. Stairs please Auckland council ?
Although my last visit here was in 2009, and now live in Australia. This train station was so cool as it had so many cats around here.
Poor walking design. It took me a minute to walk from a ramp. A path could have been built on a track, making it easier for people, including those with disabilities, to cross instead of having to hike to get there in a minute or so
Unreliable.Train sometimes cancelled without any explanation.
Absolutely horrible service. Waited for the train to Onehunga for 20min, when it arrived it shut the door in our faces when we were trying to get on it (this was within the minute of it arriving).
Be sure to wait by the yellow line at all times of you don't want to miss your train!

Okay vibes tbh nothing real cool to see
Fall of hostile people, and "certain" people open their doors on other cars cause the driver has no skill at driving.
Nice to be in a calm place.
Great station, nice and clean. This is a transport hub for trains until CRL, and the standard can't be better. However, seating is limited, would it be possible to extend the existing benches to take up the full space?
The station was OK but the exit needs better light and looks very run down.
Love avondale just the shops are old and need some love and the old 3 guy carpark needs more love a real eye sore
Parking is almost full. Muddy roads at entrance. You need to walk around 200mtrs to catch a train. Changing platform also takes quite a long walk. Not that much convenient in catching trains on exact time. You need to give extra 3-5mins, if you are on Penrose station for the first time.
Hi Auckland Transport, i dont know where im gonna put the review,
I really dissapointed what i’ve been through today with train at avondale today, at 10.45
I didnt come late, i was waiting for the train coming, and the. When the train coming, I’m about to approach the door , they close straight away, rude driver, it’s can be dangerous for people if i tried to jump in the train when about to close, i really dissapointed because i came early waiting for my train, how come that the train the one who came late close the door straight away when i about to approach the door, they just open and close like that. So rude, how come no people working as well at the time at the train, i even press the green button so many times, while the train still waiting.
i know we need the transportation but it’s not supposed to be treat like that, except that i came late to the train. but close straight away when i’m about to approach the door, it might be not wven 30s, even the old people also need to run because of that, what happened if they fell because of that, it’s not safety. I never reported something like this before. How comeeeeee?

I love traveling by train!
A central neighborhood suburb of Auckland. Greenlane is marked by the motorway exits, Shopping centre and the boutique communities of Ellerslie, Epsom, Remuera & Newmarket.
This is more of a dig at Auckland transport as a whole, rather than specifically this station, but man, you really see why it’s barely ever busy on the trains. Half of the trains get cancelled out of nowhere, and I can’t remember the last time a train was even on time. In a time where we have so many incredible transport systems around the world, we have this. Embarrassing really.
Trains are always cancelled
So many cancellations today, useless
Very impressed with this station. Cant fault it as they were all helpful and everything seemed to flow well. Facilities were also clean too. Nice work all :)
Trains are always late at evening times. All the time it's got some sleepers, drunks, and dodgy people dealing vice on board too. It's an unsafe jungle riding these at nights. Always my last resort unfortunately.
Worst train station. The lady working there is useless. Train was there and door closed for the train ready to go and there people standing out just arrived including myself and she could have done something to re open the door and she didn't say a single word. Useless lady
Its very good, lots of seating and shelter and trains were before schedule.
Close to Morningside town Centre and has multiple different entrances onto the station.
A great train station.

Beautiful location, also very convenient location right next to Orakei Bay Village. Great for a quick trip to Farro if you’re in the CBD near Britomart.
Have two platforms from two lines, but no signage that lets you know what’s the best platform for you, ticket machine worked but didn’t print a ticket so had to rely on showing staff my transaction on my phone
Was nice to see another underground station but requires abit of walking to get to the mall.only 2 platforms close to bus terminal and nearby hayman park.
Staff work really hard. Car park is the worst
The train carriage was clean and tidy. The attendant was alert ensuring everyone had their masks on as a compulsory requirement on all public transport 👍
Great on a sunny day, enveloped by water on both sides.
Convenient for us. But trains need less downtime.
The station is very tidy and nice overall. Has modern architecture feel to it. The toilets are well equipped and clean.
The signs are nicely posted and clear.

Station has branch line to Onehunga which is over a bridge. Clean and pleasant station could do with more seating under cover
Very clean but always have work going on there
The worst train station in Auckland. Staffs here are not so friendly. Or may be just because I am Asian or perhaps, this is the way how things roll around?
Close to home Fairly basic but at least you can still top your 'Hop Card'
Lots of parking space. Great spot in doing TradeMe pickups/meetups.
Sorry I give this 2 star for such a clean station.
But my sister isn't safe in this area waiting at night while one of the seemingly security guard were constantly staring at her and me every time I picked her up. Made us feel uncomfortable and seemingly doesn't trust that person with never end staring. For us, this is a signs of getting harassment. Please choose a good employer with at-least know how to respect people (especially women and im not a feminist) especially LET THEM KNOW THAT STARING IS RUDE IN NEW ZEALAND.

Avondale Trainstation is only two stops away from bigger Bellville station. It has ample parking on both sides of the tracks. It’s a popular morning and afternoon commute route as it goes past Canal Walk into town.
Hard to find entrance on New North Road a fairly bleak station but at least some seating and cover available.
good station but very limited parking so its doesnt serve those that travel after 7 or 8am
Good
Five star station, beautiful architecture and very helpful staff. The station is conveniently located inside the Auckland Institute of Technology building, surrounded by a green belt, great parking area and a number of eateries. Central to everything!
Greenlane Station can take you to the city centre @ Britomart, easy comfy carriages, ticket one way under $5NZD; friendly train conductors

Amazing early Auckland train station. Authentic and original. Well cared for. Wonder old seats for waiting passengers.
A nice long train station with plenty of entrances, however, there are only limited shelters available; hence, you better get your umbrella ready and set during the rainy seasons. The tag on/off stations are located right on each entrances, and if you need to drop off or pick-up, better use Layard St albeit it's a one-way street. Very close to town centre, and the medical centre is just across the station. The station have an automated ticket and top up machine. You can also find a vending machine that has been out of order for more than a year.
Having to change from Southern line to Onehunga line or vise versa is a real hassle. For disabled passengers do it at Ellerslie, much simpler. On the Onehunga line Platform 3 - needs better signage for people going to concerts or sporting events. Here an Idea - how about a new walkway to Mt Smart for sport and concert goers.
Good station close to hospital, good cover from weather, nice protection from wind. Every time I've been here, I've got harassed by ticket inspectors. I don't like being treated as a dishonest person, especially after visiting people in hospital. It's getting tiresome.
Basic station with only a few benches despite how many covered awnings there are
Very convenient station. It takes about 10 minuets to get to Britomart. But the parking definitely is a bit of challenge. Always make sure that you take 5-10 extra minuets to drive around and find the closest spot.
Decent station. Serves its purpose. However if you park and ride here, there is limited on street parking. Arriving earlier than 7am will most likely guarantee a parking space near the station or further into the surrounding side streets.
Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Good facilities.
Great station. Just wish there were more benches. Plenty of shelter though
Helpful friendly staff, great building in a good location handy to most things in Manukau
The station is pretty good. Lots of coverage in the event that the weather isnt too flash. Its a big station and get quite busy.
neat and clean station
Good train station, maybe more shelter but not entirely necessary. But nicely maintained.
Nice platform, plenty of seating and shelter
Plenty of seating and shelter at this station
Excellent train statiom woth plenty of seating and shelter
Nicely decorated station with a lovely view, needs more seating and shelter area.
One of the major train station to get a trains to Swanson, Onehunga and Papakura. Has free WiFi and toilet facilities along with customer care service help desk counter.
Almost no shelter, no proper parking. Layard st is OK for drop offs and pick up however it is a one way, one lane road so you would have to double park. No public toilets seen lots of guys just using the bushes especially after events. Feel sorry for the security guards they usually have their work cut out for them.
Station is alright but lacking enough shelter. Lighting on the shortest route to Avondale town centre/bus stops (Crayford St) is not great, would recommend using the St Jude's Street if using this station at night and not super keen on walking down dark streets. Layard St is a good place for pick ups and drop offs.
It has ramp to access and no nearby parking. U have to walk at least 500mts from nearest parking
A good station with a nice atmosphere. Very much useful to the people going to Eden Park to watch any sport event.
Need more surveillance cameras! Often saw car broke into:(
pass meadowbank by train every wks ,on way to panmure
Well lit for 6.30am, top-up machine working, relatively clean station. Enjoying the electronic up-to-date information board.
A well functioning station with access from both New North and Sandringham Roads. A gateway to Kingskandbabd Eden Park.
Needs more parking as hard to get to without driving. Parking always full!
Some of the tag on/off stations at Greenlane have a slightly broken display so you often can't see your balance or how much the cost of the train journey but other than that, a great station.
Machine for train tickets at Greenland station not working, since broken down for a long time and remains not fixed
Gd
Excellent experience, it was clean , nice and tidy. Ticketing counter staff was very helpful.
Jump off here and it's a 3 minute walk under and over the highway to the race track. It's a dedicated and well signposted route.
Jump off here and it's a 2 minute walk to the stadium.
Both stations display the same trains, some times it is hard to find on which station the train is coming.
Easy services to and from on trains and buses and some nice shopping but pity the Station Square could be better dressed. It could be awesome. Needs water feature and movement not boring bland apartment walls.
Easy travel into Newmarket or the CBD. Goes right out to Swanson (near the Waitakeres) if you go in the other direction. Feels nice and modern. Plenty of shelter from the sun/rain. It is located between New North Rd and Sandringham Rd so it's very easy to transfer to a bus when you arrive at this station. Very close to Eden Park too.
22Aug17 10:45am Had coffee here at the Hollywood Cafe on the floor above the station. Coffee OK. Train arrived and departed with no major drama or noise.
18Nov16 More and more used by commuters for rail travel. A pity this spur did not extend all the way to Westfield Manukau.

The station itself, which is down a set of stairs and/or escalators is well laid out, and works well. The building above it has a very dark and foreboding foyer. It is particularly horrible On the weekends and public holidays when the cafés and info desk are shut and the place is empty.
The old building looks really nostalgic!
love the old building!
It's a train station. Why didn't the council tunnel under Sandringham Road when they were upgrading for RWC 2011 ? Be good when live boards and electric units arrive. Coffee close.
