History

The then Hutt Valley Branch to Waterloo, opened 1927 and extended to Haywards 1946–54, became the main route to Upper Hutt and the Wairarapa from 1 March 1954 with the closing of the Melling-Haywards section. Pomare opened soon after, on 9 August 1954.
In 2010 42 new "park and ride" parking places were provided at Pomare, particularly for commuters from Stokes Valley.
