Construction of the new Newmarket railway station is almost complete. Here, looking from the Tournament carpark, one track is complete and other platforms are largely in place

The land where the second and third tracks will go is clearly visible here, with the completed track in the foreground, partially obscured by shadows

The walkway beside the road bridge, and over the railway, is still under construction

Hallelujah! Bases for the first electrification poles have been installed near Newmarket station

ADL 808 stops at the temporary Newmarket South station. The new station is just a few metres up the track

Train displays similar to the one at Britomart are operational, but displaying dummy data similar to actual data

The middle track is yet to be tamped (packed)

ADC 858 has returned from Britomart and passes Platform 1 at Newmarket, running under future wires. Supports for the wires are in place above the tracks

The Remurewa Road overbridge, with the tracks underneath it. The track visible is currently the only track in operation

A view of the platforms, taken from Platform 3. The middle track is aligned so that trains can open their doors on either or both platforms, but the current trains don't allow for both sets of doors to be open. (Platform 2 will be unused until electric trains start operating)

The south-to-west portion of the triangle is 'complete', but the track is blocked by construction machinery and temporary buildings

The site of the former Newmarket South temporary station, which was dismantled just days after Christmas. The track has been lifted and 'correct' points put in their place

Not much is happening at the new station, but the finishing touches are being put on

New signals at Newmarket. These signals have no ladders: instead they tilt forward to allow for maintenance. The signals are not currently operating

The platforms at Newmarket are ready for business

The Newmarket Triangle is being tidied up and works finilised. The as-of-now unused connection on the left will be used, and the now heavily used connector on the right may not see any more use until the Rugby World Cup in 2011

The site of the former Newmarket West temporary station, which has not quite been completely dismantled yet (see next photo)
