Limited train services have started running again on Auckland’s passenger rail network following the evacuation of the Auckland Train Control Centre earlier this morning due to the serious fire in Favona.

• KiwiRail’s Wellington Train Control Service is looking after Auckland’s train services while the Auckland Train Control Centre remains evacuated.
• Services have resumed on the Western Line, stopping at all stations between Britomart and Swanson.
• The Southern Line currently has train services running between Britomart and Penrose, and between Puhinui and Papakura. Buses are shuttling passengers between Penrose and Puhinui while Ōtāhuhu Station is closed because of potentially toxic smoke from the fire in Favona.
• There will continue to be some delays and cancellations affecting Western and Southern Line services as flow-on effects from the suspension of services this morning, and while our trains and crews are relocated to where they need to be.
• Services on the Onehunga and Eastern Lines remain cancelled until further notice.
