Maymorn Train Station
Maymorn Road, Maymorn, Upper Hutt | 63Maymorn Train Station is a rural train station near the base of the Remutaka Range. It is a twin-platform, rural request stop.
Te Aranui o Te Rangihaeata, Transmission Gully, is a 27-kilometre, four-lane motorway north of Wellington. It is part of State Highway 1, the longest and most significant road in New Zealand.
The first roading project in the country to be constructed on behalf of the government as part of a public-private partnership, it opened in 2022. The first known proposal roughly resembling the road was put forward in 1919.
It was an incredibly complex and expensive project. But is now known as a safe, modern, and reliable route in and out of the capital.
It is a smooth and scenic drive, through undulating farmland, forest, and scrub.
The gully’s name comes from the 110,000-volt transmission line between Wellington and Mangahao Power Station in Shannon, laid in 1924.
