The station is the closest to the downtown terminus at Britomart, and sits adjacent to Auckland Domain.

It features the 108-year-old Newmarket Station building which was moved on to the site.

In peak hours trains, from the Southern Line will stop at Parnell. Off-peak, Western Line trains will also stop there.

The development will eventually cost $19 million once a second stage with improved access is completed, and up to 2000 passengers are expected to use it during the morning rush hour.
