History
Naenae station opened on 7 January 1946 when a single line of the then Hutt Valley Branch was extended from Waterloo to Naenae. The station served as the branch's terminus until the extension to Taita opened fifteen months later in April 1947; at the same time the line south of Naenae was double tracked. Double track north of the station to Taita opened in February 1953, and the line through Naenae was electrified on 12 September 1953. In March 1954, Naenae became part of the main Wairarapa Line when the Taita to Haywards (now Manor Park) extension opened and the existing Melling to Haywards line closed.
Naenae Station closed from 14 May 2012 to allow a rebuild of the station to take place. The rebuild included a new platform shelter, resurfacing of the platform itself and renovation of the subway connecting the platform to Cambridge and Oxford Terraces. A shuttle bus service was provided between Naenae and Waterloo Station on weekdays during peak times. The station reopened on 27 August 2012.
