Train:
Auckland's rail network is closed this weekend per the planned work taking place while KiwiRail maintain and upgrade the rail network.
Rail replacement services are running, and we have ambassadors on the network to assist with journey planning.
Please be aware that unfortunately our Journey Planner and AT Mobile app have not been updated with the rail bus replacement services due to a data upload failure. Existing rail buses for the Rail Network Rebuild will be visible.
You can use physical timetables at rail bus stops or the pdf timetables on our planned closure page.
Following a rail network inspection, Kiwirail have discovered subsidence issues next to the track on the Eastern and Western line.
From Tuesday 31 January 2023, train services will be impacted on the Western and Eastern Line while KiwiRail, the track owner and maintainer, urgently work on the areas of subsidence along the line.
Auckland Transport is working closely with KiwiRail and our train operator Auckland One Rail to minimise the disruption to passengers.
