Avondale

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.

Love avondale just the shops are old and need some love and the old 3 guy carpark needs more love a real eye sore

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?

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.

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.

Nicely decorated station with a lovely view, needs more seating and shelter area.

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.
