Britomart Station becomes Waitematā Station
Britomart Station becomes Waitematā Station
In 2003, Britomart opened as our new and only city centre train station. With City Rail Link (CRL) opening next year, that is set to change. We’ll have brand new stations in the city and new names.
Mana whenua gifted the name Waitematā Station for Britomart Station. We’ve been using ‘Waitematā (Britomart)’ as a transitional name, but now it is time for the next step.
You’ll start to notice ‘Waitematā Station’ on our maps, signages, and online, including the AT Mobile app. While the name has changed, Waitematā Station remains a hub for trains, buses and ferries – and access to our waterfront, downtown, and everything the Britomart precinct has to offer.
The name reflects the station’s proximity to the Waitematā Harbour, which was named after its flat, glassy waters resemblance to matā (obsidian). The harbour’s name also reflects a visit from a Te Arawa ancestor who placed an obsidian stone as a mauri (talisman) in the northern part of the harbour.
