Driver illness and shortages means more bus replacements for trains across Auckland

Kia ora Neighbours,

Buses will replace trains this weekend, but on a reduced schedule to account for drivers falling sick.

All Auckland Transport trains will be swapped out with buses this weekend (starting Friday at 9.30pm on the Western Line), as KiwiRail has essential maintenance to complete.

Those replacement buses will be less frequent that normal on the Eastern, Southern and Western Lines "while driver shortage and high rates of driver sickness continue," AT says.

AT Group Manager Metro Services Darek Koper says he knows it's frustrating but drivers cannot be asked to work while ill.

“We all know friends or family members who are being knocked about at the moment by winter illnesses, whether it’s COVID-19, the flu, or a bad cold doing the rounds,” said Koper.

“We’re asking Aucklanders to be patient and understanding as we work with our operators to hire and train more drivers, but for the meantime we will unfortunately see more disruption to our services this winter.”

The best way to keep up with network changes is through the AT Mobile app or via the journey planner online.

The team of East FM is buzzing about returning to produce an outside broadcast from the home ground of our mighty Howick Hornets Rugby League Club, tomorrow, Saturday, July 9. We’ll be live on-air from Paparoa Park from 12.30pm to 4.30pm.
And the main game we’ll be commentating from 2.30pm is the much-anticipated top-of-the-table clash in the Auckland Rugby League’s SAS Fox Memorial Premiership (section one), Howick Hornets vs Pt Chevalier Pirates.
The Pirates are unbeaten after seven rounds on 16 points, while the Hornets are in second place on 14 points with six wins and a loss.
Both Howick and Pt Chev have proud records in the men’s premiership over the past 12 years, with the Pirates winning four championships and the Hornets two (2011, 2019), with the past two seasons abandoned because of Covid lockdowns.
The East FM team will also be talking with club identities in the first two hours of the broadcast and setting the scene for the match of the day.

East FM is East Auckland’s powerhouse community-driven public service radio station, broadcasting on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on the iHeart Radio app.
