The western access ramp was found to require strengthening work in February 2016 , and was later damaged in the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake on 14 November . Due to safety risks , the ramp over the railway was removed during the weekend of 17-18 December . The station is presently not wheelchair accessible as the eastern access ramp has stairs , but GWRC expects the western ramp will be replaced " within a year "
