Due to a track issue discovered between Waitematā and Newmarket stations, Southern and Western line trains will not be running between Waitematā and Newmarket from the start of service tomorrow, Tuesday 10 February.

The Southern line will run from Pukekohe to Newmarket, and Western line from Swanson to Newmarket, however both will run every 20 minutes instead of every 10 minutes. The Eastern line will continue to operate to Waitematā as normal.

There will be rail replacement buses on the whole Western line while customers can also transfer at Newmarket to the 70 or InnerLink bus from 7203 Stop A Newmarket to get to Waitematā and buses will accept train tickets. The InnerLink also passes Parnell station. Customers travelling to the city from south of Ōtāhuhu can transfer from the Southern line to the Eastern line at Ōtāhuhu station to reach Waitematā.

We apologise for the inconvenience. Please use Journey Planner to find the best alternative bus services and allow extra time for journeys.
