Annual bird count survey Published on 02 October Have you had lots of fantails and tuis visiting your place lately? The railway took longer to construct due to the difficulties associated with stabilising the shoreline of Wellington Harbour. In July , the railway reached Kaiwharawhara , followed by Ngauranga in early and Lower Hutt on 14 April Steam locomotives had now arrived to work the line and service began, with four trains daily each way three on Sundays. Construction of the next section to Upper Hutt along the western bank of the Hutt River proceeded swiftly. On 11 May , a contract was let to Charles McKirdy, [4] and the line was opened to Silverstream in December ; this included a metre bridge across the Hutt River just before Silverstream, and in other locations, thousands of bags of cement had to be used to stabilise the railway's route alongside the river.
The line opened to Upper Hutt on 1 February The Pipitea Point railway station terminus in Wellington was destroyed by fire on 16 January , but remained open.
A permanent replacement further south on Featherston Street opened on 1 November ; it was moved northwards to near the intersection of Thorndon and Lambton Quays in and later became known as Lambton railway station. It was replaced by the present Wellington railway station on Bunny Street in The route alongside the harbour from Wellington to Lower Hutt was straightened and duplicated. The original route was built along the western bank of the Hutt River to provide the most direct route from Wellington to the Wairarapa. On 25 May signalling and interlocking on the double track Hutt Valley Junction to Waterloo then a branch was introduced.
In , an extension of about 9 miles 34 chain Initially, a single line was planned, but as a substantial metre bridge with 17 piers over the Hutt River at Ava was needed, and as it was to be the future mainline as the Western Hutt route could not be duplicated north of Melling, the new line was double track.
It was built by the Public Works Department , and work started in April , before the first sod had been turned by the Prime Minister Gordon Coates on 16 April Three new stations at Ava , Woburn and Waterloo were built.

The new line was opened by Coates , on 26 May In , the Minister of Railways Dan Sullivan said that the extension and duplication of the line from Waterloo to Silverstream or Upper Hutt had not yet been considered by Cabinet. Already built to Waterloo as double track, the next section to Naenae opened on 7 January initially as single track. Initially single track, the section was duplicated on 19 July The old bridge over the Hutt River to Silverstream was found unsuitable for electrification and a deviation was built to the north over a new bridge.
On 19 July , the railway was duplicated to a point north of Haywards, and on 21 November a single track on the new Silverstream deviation was brought into use. Duplication from Haywards was completed to Trentham on 26 June This involved re-routing the Wairarapa Line north of Upper Hutt.

The Kaitoke route via Kaitoke and Summit in the Rimutaka Ranges at the western end of the incline was closed and replaced by a line through Maymorn to the tunnel. In June , the Hutt Valley line was cut on the evening of 20 June between Ngauranga and Petone by scour beneath the line in several places during the storm of 20—21 June. Hutt Valley and Wairarapa lines services between Petone and Wellington were replaced by buses. KiwiRail had to rail in more than cubic metres of fill. Kaiwharawhara Station was closed suddenly in June as it was discovered how badly corroded the overbridge was. In November , the GWRC voted to close it permanently as on health and safety grounds, it was too expensive and nearly impossible to upgrade the station to provide step free access via ramps for disabled passengers.
The section from Upper Hutt south to Trentham and possibly later to Heretaunga will be equipped for bi-directional signalling so that trains can run on either track in either direction. The work is expected to improve the operation of both suburban passenger trains to Upper Hutt and of the Wairarapa Connection , with a longer loop at Upper Hutt to hold Wairarapa log trains.
Seven traction substations along the line take electricity from Wellington Electricity 's 11,volt distribution network and transform and rectify it to volt direct current for the overhead traction lines. There is also some supply from the Lower Hutt traction sub-station on the Melling line. Also along the line are three "cross-tie" substations at Rocky Point, Epuni, and Heretaunga, which provide a switching function but don't have transformers or rectifiers.
C , D , and L class steam locomotives operated the original route in the s and s. This involved D hauling a carriage that seated 24 first class passengers and 48 second class passengers, and had a guard's compartment. However, it proved uneconomic and grossly over-powered, and accordingly, it was soon taken out of service and the Railways Department pursued research into genuine railcars, culminating in various classes covered by the general RM class designation. This provided the premier service on the Hutt Valley Line until early , when it was re-routed via the west coast route that the Railways Department had recently acquired from the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company.

Through the Hutt Valley, the express was typically hauled by W W class tank locomotives. No named provincial express has operated on the Wairarapa Line since this time. In the 20th century, prior to electrification, W AB and W W class tank locomotives typically hauled suburban trains.
The EDs were withdrawn by and EWs by From , trains have been operated by Transdev Wellington under the Metlink brand; previously Metlink commuter services were operated by Tranz Metro. Trains run frequently along the line with stops at 17 stations.
Off-peak services run every 20 minutes during the day, Half Hourly on Saturday and Sundays and hourly during the early morning and late evening, stopping at all stations. Kaiwharawhara was closed suddenly in June as it was discovered how badly corroded the overbridge was. Metlink commuter trains running to and from Masterton in the Wairarapa — the Wairarapa Connection — augment the Hutt Valley Line service.

Once the west coast route of the North Island Main Trunk railway was available, all freight that could be diverted was sent via that line due to the costs and inefficiency of sending it over the Rimutaka Incline. Accordingly, the Wairarapa Line declined markedly as a freight route, though it became more desirable as a secondary route to the NIMT once the Incline was replaced by the Rimutaka Tunnel in Non-revenue services are also operated regularly to transfer equipment to and from the Hutt Workshops.
Since the demise of the ED and EW class, all freight trains have been operated by diesel locomotives. The Review and Draft Review of the Wellington Regional Public Transport Plan confirmed that a detailed analysis for a new station at Raumati which was a "viability benchmark" for other new stations showed that a new station there was not justified; that the modelled peak-hour patronage needed to be about new passengers, and most Raumati users would have switched from Paraparaumu Station.
Network extensions beyond the current Metlink rail operation limits would be by "shuttles or non-electrified services" running to Wellington. Service improvements proposed in May included double-tracking the line between Trentham and Upper Hutt; for which the GWRC was seeking government funding. However some traction poles on the Hutt Line required replacing "urgently". The work had started, and would be completed in Work is to start in April
