Poll: Will you be using trains to get to work this morning?
Hi Aucklanders. Auckland Transport suffered a 30 minute train suspension across the network due to a KiwiRail signalling fault yesterday. It was the second time in a week that trains were non-operational, network wide. Auckland Mayor Phil Goff said the delays were "not good enough". He asked KiwiRail if its infrastructure was fit for purpose. KiwiRail has promised an independent review into the recent signal faults.

I wanted to make pizza but didn’t have one of the important ingredients - so I made a Roman pizza instead … and it was delicious! So which is the missing ingredient, and why do I call it a Roman pizza?
