730:, meaning the up home signal would be held at danger until the barrier arms were down. For an off-peak service when there was usually no conflicting traffic on the single line from Trentham to Upper Hutt, it was normal for the up home signal to change to clear once the barrier arms were down. However, the signalman at Upper Hutt had been distracted sorting out a drunken altercation at that station and had forgotten to clear the signal once the last southbound train had cleared Trentham, and the train driver was in the mindset the signal should clear as he approached the level crossing, not realising his mistake until he passed the signal. The approach controlled function was subsequently removed after the accident.

Trentham signal box only to be used on race days to operate the other crossovers and signals. On 6 February 2007, the Trentham and Upper Hutt signal boxes were decommissioned and control of both stations was moved to Train Control in central Wellington, and all crossovers and signals were renumbered.

Trentham was originally controlled from its own signal box on the main platform. Following double-tracking of the line to
Trentham, the southern crossover points (number 18, now 1) and the associated signals protecting the crossover and the single line north could be controlled from the signal box at

The 2010 – 2035 Regional Rail Plan (RRP) had proposed duplicating the track between
Trentham and Upper Hutt in the 2011 – 2012 year, but duplicating the track only commenced as part of the 2020-2021 Wellington Metro Rail Upgrade. As part of the upgrade, the low platforms
