Onslow College in Wellington is warning students of the dangers of walking alone following several assaults at train stations over the past few weeks. 

The Johnsonville high school sent out an email on Monday afternoon, warning students of the dangers of walking through train stations alone. 

"The young people who have been victims are usually walking alone and have had high-value items like phones or even items of clothing taken from them," the email reads. 

"We are advising students to make sure they keep safe by walking together with peers or other adults whenever possible and moving directly through areas such as train stations - these are not areas to hang around in for longer than is needed." 

The school's warning comes after several cases of violent offending targeting young people in and around Wellington's regional railway stations. 

Police are urging anyone who has been a victim of a robbery or assault on the Wellington, Hutt Valley or Kapiti Train Lines recently to contact police and quote file reference 230803/0809; Operation Corridor.
