A vehicle which ended up in an awkward position - half on the tracks and its rear wheels on the platform, at a suburban Wellington railway station has been removed from the tracks.

A Metlink spokeswoman said the SUV - which was accidentally driven off the platform, was moved from the tracks at Khandallah Station at 8:54pm.

Train services were stopped on the Johnsonville after Metlink were alerted to the incident by police at 6:15pm on Sunday evening. Buses had been sent to replace trains between Ngaio and Johnsonville but train services have now resumed.

A police spokeswoman said there were two occupants in the vehicle at the time of the accident and both were unharmed.
