Buckland was initially a flag station, 33 mi (53 km) south of Auckland.[1] The station opened on 20 May 1875, closed to goods on 19 December 1954, and to passengers and all traffic on 2 February 1969.[2] It was only once considered important enough to be included in the annual returns of stations.[3]
