Platform structures popping up here include the frame for the shelter and a ticket booth. Some track for the western most platform has also started to be laid

At the south end, a new signal has been lit up, indicating the track may come into use very soon

At Pukekohe during a weekend Block of Line, trucks are in place on the now-active Up Main installing overhead wires

With a cable reel on one truck and a scissor lift for workers on the other, the trucks slowly head back towards the platform after anchoring the new wire in place

Workers hook the new cable onto temporary hooks as the trucks roll it out

Behind the trucks, workers on hi-rail cherry pickers attach the cable into their permanent mounts

With platform and track work almost complete, new wiring at the station gives a great idea of what the completed project will look like

Platform work at the south end of the station with the trucks still installing wires. In the background, track work for the stabling yard is nearing completion

Looking north, the crossovers connecting each platform are also nearing completion. Note the cut and now-former Down Main between crossovers; this will no longer be the primary southbound route upon completion, with the (presumed) Down Main in the centre not being on any platform

Although most track is now in place, the fourth platform is still missing any sign of track beyond a stub at the north end. To the left, the new lift shaft for the new platforms is taking shape
