In the latest edition of our "Take a Walk" series we explore the site of Auckland's planned new Aotea Station, part of the $3.4 billion City Rail Link (CRL).
This will be New Zealand's largest train station, built between Albert St, Wellesley St, Victoria St and Bledisloe Lane.

At the corner of Wellesley St and Albert St in the centre of Auckland's central business district, we look across to a carpark and Bledisloe House, to the station's site. This is near one of the entrance ways to a crucial new part of the network that's being built in Auckland now.
