This 1920's layout of Ashburton was in operation on the new deviation of the Main Line from 1919 to 1965, between Umlaas Road & Pentrich. This station was open 24hours per day, Electric Train Staff was in operation to Thornybush and Mkondeni during the Day, and Telegraph Orders were in use during the night to Umlaas Road & Pentrich. When the New Main Line deviation was built in 1965, this line was abandoned and lifted from Mkondeni to Umlaas Road, and a new Ashburton station was built on the new alignment.
