Mayor welcomes news on
double tracking
Waitakere Mayor Bob Harvey today welcomed the news from ARTA that work on double tracking of the western line was being ramped up.
“It is particularly pleasing to see construction works will intensify from April and that will eventually mean improvements to frequency, capacity and reliability of train services,” he said.
“This is all good news for Waitakere commuters who are well over having to wait and wait for their train to turn up, if indeed it turns up at all.
“And in the long run it will mean people can rely on public transport and therefore leave their cars in the garage.”
