Karanga-a-Hape station is also quite lovely and provides much, better access to K Road.. ..but I'm deeply concerned about our claim to the 2nd longest escalator in the southern hemisphere being usurped, in November I'll vote for whoever promises to extend the state library escalator by 1.1 metres

A train arriving into platform 2 at Karanga-a-Hape station, with it's nice rounded platforms. There's a few people on the platform watching the train arrive in awe

the passage leading up to the longest escalators in new Zealand, and the 2nd longest in the southern hemisphere

the 43 metre long escalators navigating a 33m rise to take people from platform level to just below street level at the peak of a ridgeline

the plaque celebrating the longest escalators in new Zealand, written in both Te Reo Maori and English, like everything else in the CRL (and NZ in general)

I could say a lot more but I'll wrap this thread up here and leave you with a selection of photos I took of the amazing artwork Horotiu on the ceiling of the main entrance at Te Waihorotiu. I could have spent hours looking at it from different angles just watching the light catch. thanks Auckland!
