The route meanders through bush-clad valleys and steep-sided hills north of Wellington, offering sweeping views of the city, harbour, and Hutt Valley during its 21-minute journey through a series of tunnels. Opened in 1885 and electrified on 13 July 1938, the line remains an important part of the communities it serves, with nearby parks, native bush walks, and scenic viewpoints to explore along the way.
Melling line
The Melling Line branches off the Upper Hutt Line north of Petone and follows the western side of the Hutt River before reaching Melling. Stations include Western Hutt and Melling, with the latter just a short walk across the Hutt River bridge from the popular Lower Hutt shopping centre.
Paraparaumu Line
Paraparaumu, 49 km north of Wellington on the Kāpiti Coast, is known for its long beaches, warm sunshine, relaxed lifestyle, and attractions such as Coastlands Shopping Centre, Paraparaumu Beach, and views of Kāpiti Island, now a protected bird sanctuary once home to chief Te Rauparaha. A train trip on the line offers scenic coastal and bush-clad views in about 55 minutes, with easy access to nearby highlights like Lindale Farm and the Southward Car Museum.
