The Auckland Railway Station is the former main railway station of Auckland. Opened in 1930 on Beach Road, it replaced the previous Queen Street railway terminus which is approximately where the current main railway station, Britomart is located. The 1930 station was the third station to serve as the rail terminus for Auckland, and remained the sole station serving the CBD until its closure in July 2003, when Britomart became the new terminus. Two platforms of the former station are once again operational as part of the renamed Strand Station. The remaining platforms are now a stabling area for AM Class electric multiple unit trains. The railway station building has been redeveloped as an apartment (formerly student accommodation) building known as Grand Central Apartments. The building has been disconnected from the platform area since the 1990s. The Strand Station has been disconnected from the stabling facility since the 2010s. All three areas are inaccessible from each other from a general public perspective.
