Further Disruption For Auckland Train Services This Afternoon
Auckland Transport is advising Auckland train customers there will be further disruptions on the train network this afternoon due to an ongoing signal issue near Parnell.
KiwiRail maintenance teams are working to fix this issue as quickly as they can but in the meantime trains across Auckland will be operating with delays and reduced frequencies to keep the network running safely.
Train customers should check the AT Mobile App or Journey Planner before travelling this afternoon to see whether their trip will be affected and what other public transport options will be available for them.
