Other facilities include two park and ride carparks, a ticket office, waiting room, and cycle storage.

Although closer to the populace it served, difficulty in accessing it led to most of the residents of the area signing a petition against the relocation.

The old station building was later removed and sited on the corner of Korokoro and Hutt Roads where it served as a Police lock-up for many years.

On 27 July 1905 a new station with a building designed by George Troup was inaugurated on a new site, when the new double main line between Petone Junction and Lower Hutt was opened.

The double tracking from Lower Hutt and Petone to Wellington authorised in 1903 by the Hutt Railway and Road Improvement Act was completed in stages between 1905 and 1911,[2] In 2000 preliminary investigations into a refurbishment of the station were begun, motivated by the Wellington Regional Land Transport Strategy, which had identified it as requiring such works by 2004.

The Hutt City Council agreed in 2003 to, for legal reasons, become the owner of the station and four tenders for the construction works were received.

This project also involved an upgrade for the pedestrian overbridge that links the station to the western side of State Highway 2.

It was occasionally staffed in the evenings and at weekends when a block of line existed beyond the station, operating the crossovers to switch trains for their return journey.
