History
The station, originally known as Lupton's Crossing, was opened on 9 October 1913. Goods services were closed on 29 April 1980.[1]
Upgrades
Proposals
A proposal was made by the former Papakura District Council to create a new station and Park and Ride facility at Glenora Road, next to the new Southgate shopping centre, to coincide with the new Addison residential development taking place on the former horse training track land.[5]
In 2012, the Papakura Local Board requested a new station and park and ride be built at Walters Road. This proposal was listed in Auckland Transport's draft land transport plan.[6]
On 19 October 2018, Auckland Transport renamed the station to Takaanini in line with Auckland Council's Te Reo Māori policy to reflect the correct spelling of Ihaka Wirihana Takaanini after whom the area is named.[4][7]
2025 upgrade
As part of the Level Crossing Removal Programme, a pedestrian bridge and 3 lifts have been proposed for the station and is expected to start construction in October 2025.[8]
