Baldwin Avenue railway station, in the suburb of Mount Albert, is on the Western Line of the Auckland railway network. The station has offset side platforms connected by a level crossing.

History

The old layout (pre-2010)
  • 1907: Between 1907 and 1 June 1915, trains would halt at Avondale Road (modern-day Asquith Ave), close to the modern-day railway station.[2]
  • 1953: Opened as a wayside halt on 28 September.[2][3]
  • 1966: The line between Morningside and Avondale was double-tracked, leading to two new platforms being built. These platforms were off-set from each other.[3]
  • 1993: The platforms were raised to meet the standards of the new ex-Perth trains.[3]
  • 2011: An upgraded and lengthened station was opened, with the platforms directly opposite each other.
