Signed – sealed – delivered! The station name sign now "floats" above the Wellesley Street entrance. 

Kia ora ,

Te Waihorotiu Station has achieved another massive year of transformation both above and below ground. Keep scrolling for a recap of the station and CRL's progress during 2024. 

Over the holiday period most of our construction crews will take a well-deserved break between 20 December and 6 January. We will have a security team operating across the site at all times, who are available by phone day or night (please use our usual 0800 CRL TALK number). 

We wish you and your loved ones a fantastic holiday season! Check out the wide range of festive events, attractions and live on-street performers at Heart of the City, including the Sky Tower fireworks on New Year's Eve. 

Meri Kirihimete and have a safe summer season!

City Rail Link 2024 highlights reel
Sit back and enjoy a few minutes of video highlights, looking back at the past year of the City Rail Link project's achievements. 

Our support for the community this year
Throughout 2024 we have continued to support local businesses and residents with community activations, site improvements, regular "Win Win Wednesday" giveaways and other voucher promotions. We shared the station's progress with Aucklanders, and have hosted dozens of tours through the construction site. As we close out 2024, it's heartening to see new research from Auckland Council about the positive effect Te Waihorotiu Station is already having in midtown.  

Thank you for all the feedback and comments we have received this year - we love hearing from you and we hope to stay in touch in the new year. 
The Link Alliance has been a regular participant in Auckland Council's Midtown Street Parties - here we are hosting what was a very popular karaoke session in our public info centre on Victoria Street. 

The Journey to Completion
It's hard to believe the amount of progress achieved this year, and even harder to remember what the station looked like a year ago!  Take a look at our station retrospective below - see if you can spot the differences 🙂.  Refer to our "Journey to Completion" brochure if you need a refresher on all the details.
 
The Wellesley Street entrance building - now without scaffolding and our tower crane - sits proud displaying the impressive poutama facade that represents the tears of Ranginui (Sky Father). 
The Wellesley Street public entrance foyer. Hundreds of aluminium rods are now installed as part of the foyer’s feature ceiling. The rods are designed to mimic the stems of harakeke (reeds) and the movement of water – creating a rippled lighting effect. 
Te Waihorotiu Station's concourse level - the passenger circulation level above the train platform - is now largely complete. The timber-like ceiling is now fully installed, while thousands of terrazzo tiles now line the floor. 
A lot to see here! The station's ceiling is now complete - including the very smart skylights - while escalators are now commissioned. Glass balustrades now run the length of the station, while the station's four cross-beams hold a striking pose. 
A year ago the Victoria / Albert Street intersection was still closed to traffic, with footpaths still under construction. Look at the area now - open to traffic and open for business! 
Hundreds of us come to work each day at Te Waihorotiu Station and we all have a story to tell. Here's some of our station team, standing proud after revealing the sky element facade on the Wellesley Street entrance building earlier this year. From ours to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄🎉
