Extra capacity on Metlink train services and larger buses will be running for the upcoming Blackcaps vs. England Sky Stadium ODI at 2pm on 1 November to reduce congestion and ease pressure on the wider transport system.

The Hutt Valley, Kāpiti and Johnsonville lines will have extra capacity before and after the game.

A special Wairarapa Line service will run after the game, expected to depart approximately 30 minutes after the match finishes.

Core bus routes will have increased capacity, and the East-by-West ferry will be running at standard operating times.

Metlink recommends using a Snapper card to tag on and off, instead of cash, to access cheaper fares.

Plan ahead and travel early on game day using the latest travel information on the Metlink app, website, or by calling 0800 801 700.
