Final Push for Rail Replacement: Southern Line

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Trains will not run on Saturdays and Sundays between Papakura and Pukekohe until the end of March as KiwiRail finishes repairing worn rail on the Southern line.

The Pukekohe line is the final section of the Auckland rail network that needs re-railing since KiwiRail began urgent work on the tracks in August, said KiwiRail chief operating officer Todd Moyle.

“We know train users on this line typically travel longer distances so we have planned our work for weekends and evenings to avoid interrupting their weekday travel plans.

“To maximise productivity for KiwiRail teams working on the line, freight trains will also not run on weekends during the day."

Trains resumed running on the Eastern line this week after a two-week closure to replace worn rail track and sleepers.

Rail replacement work between Swanson and Papakura has been brought to fruition meaning trains can return to their 10-minute frequencies during peak times across the Auckland network.

Staff are working at night to de-stress the new rail and carry out other finishing work to avoid impacting daytime services.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
