Takanini Railway Station is on the Southern Line of the Auckland railway network. The station has an island platform layout and is accessed from Manuroa Road, Station Road and Taka Street.

Proposed upgrade

A proposal was made by the former Papakura District Council to create a new station and Park and Ride facility at Glenora Road, next to the new Southgate shopping centre, to coincide with the new Addison residential development taking place on the former horse training track land.[3]
