Te Kuiti railway station is a station on the North Island Main Trunk in New Zealand.[4][5]

The station was important in the growth of Te Kuiti and trains calling have included The Overlander, Blue Streak, Scenic Daylight, Daylight Limited, Northerner and Night Limited. Since 2012 it has only seen occasional calls by excursions and to set down or pick up groups of 10 or more, booked on the Northern Explorer.

Listed building

Since 1985 the building has been listed NZHPT Category II.[6] The Rail Heritage Trust describes the station as, "the finest remaining example of a standard class B station". It dates from 1908 (the old station was moved to Ongarue),[7] when George Troup (best known for Dunedin railway station) was the head of railway architecture. After a deputation to the Minister,[8] it was moved from the west to the east (town side) of the tracks in 1911, and a verandah was added. The station is of weatherboard, with a corrugated-iron roof, gabled at both ends, originally 103 ft (30 m) long, but extended in 1929, 1951 and 1957. The alterations are evidenced by double-hung sash windows either side, but casement windows to the south.[9] A 'Revitalisation Project' was started in 2014.[10] It is planned to provide for arts and crafts groups, an education centre, youth projects, historical displays and a meeting room.[11]
