The Railway Station at Te Aro, being still quite new, presents a pleasing, if not very substantial, appearance. It is commodious, and it is not likely that any extension will be needed for many years to come. The ordinary business traffic is small; but on high days and holidays crowds of excursionists throng the Te Aro Station. There is a well-kept look about this station which is by no mesns too common in the Colony. Whether the traffic justifies the extension, and whether those who clamoured for it, are reaping the benefits which they declared were certain to follow, it may well be doubted. Wellingtonians, however, look forward to an extension of this line to Kilbirnie, Lyell Bay, Island Bay, Happy Valley, Karori and Makara, joining the Manawatu line at Porirua. Certainly such an extension would be a great boon to the Capital from a citizen's standpoint, but the taxpayer is likely to throw cold water on the project for many years to come. The Te Aro Station is situated near the extreme south-western corner of Lambton Harbour. It occupies about three and a half acres in the midst of what will some day be a very busy part of the city. Already there are many signs of improvement in the neighbourhood.
