[3] Trains initially ran non-stop to the terminus of the line from Wellington, and it would not be until a week after opening, on 20 April, that Ngahauranga was included as a stop.

[5] Livestock did not become a major source of traffic until the line reached Featherston in 1878, and was bolstered by the opening of the Wellington Meat Preserving and Refrigerating Company at Ngahauranga in 1884.

[6] To serve the abattoir, a siding was laid from the station yard across Hutt Road to the company's works in June of that year.

[9] In the days of single-line working, Ngahauranga was used to cross trains and in 1887 became one of the first stations in the region to receive new signalling equipment.

[12] The siding was closed and removed in the 1980s, and the tunnel under the motorway is now used for vehicular access to the waste disposal facility.

It is possible to transfer to buses to/from Johnsonville, Newlands or Churton Park at Ngauranga, to commute to the Hutt Valley without going into Wellington.

Access to the station is by a subway under the Wellington Urban Motorway that connects via a short walkway to Hutt Road.
