Train cancellations, delays, as track fault closes Britomart station
Heads up central Aucklanders!
A track fault has closed Auckland’s Britomart train station, disrupting travel.
Auckland Transport said the fault occurred early on Thursday morning, and it alerted public transport users at 5.45am to the disruptions.
Delays and cancellations are expected as the station is “temporarily closed” due to the issue.
All services that head to Britomart would be stopping at Newmarket.
Replacement services are operating between the two stations.
As of 9am, the station remained closed.
“The Onehunga line is cancelled between Britomart and Penrose,” AT said.
“Rail replacement buses are running between Newmarket and Britomart.”
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
