The truncated line to Melling via the Western Hutt Station was then electrified.

A large new Lower Hutt Station building designed by George Troup was opened in 1906.

The line from Lower Hutt to Petone was double tracked in 1905, although not completed to Wellington until 1911.

Hoy remarked in 1968 that "the platform is still one of the longest in the district and a two-coach Melling train is lost in the middle".
