Aucklanders were able to witness a moment in history today when the first passenger train rolled in to the impressive Britomart Transport Centre early this morning.
Britomart railway station is now fully operational and providing a convenient hub for commuters in downtown Auckland. This opening is one of the first event milestones for Auckland City Council: it is the culmination of all the hard construction work started in November 2001.
