AT---April Rail Upgrades Full closure scheduled from 12 - 27 April 2025

Brian from Mount Roskill

The City Rail Link is the biggest and most transformational rapid transit development for Auckland. It will be worth the wait. Before it opens in 2026, critical work on Auckland’s rail network must be delivered first. This work will unlock faster journey times, fewer delays and trains every 4-5 minutes at peak.

From Saturday 12 April to Sunday 27 April 2025, no trains will be running. Rail replacement buses will replace trains while we upgrade the rail network and improve your journey.

Rail replacement bus services
========================
All-stop bus services (RBE, RBS, RBO and RBW) will run throughout the closure with additional weekday express rail buses on the Southern Line (RBSX).
Customers with wheelchairs or mobility scooters that are too large to take on rail replacement buses will be able to book a free mobility taxi by phoning the Contact Centre on 09 366 6400.
Free travel for Veterans this ANZAC Day
================================
This ANZAC Day, veterans and uniformed officers can travel for free with either a SuperGold card or an RSA membership card for uniformed and retired service personnel.

This applies across all AT Metro bus, rail bus, and ferry services. It excludes Fullers 360 Waiheke, SeaLink vehicle transport to/from Waiheke, Great Barrier Island and Rakinoferry services.
On ANZAC Day, there will be no trains; however, as well as the usual bus services, AT will provide additional early morning bus and rail replacement bus services, including:
• Additional NX1 services to the Auckland Domain will operate between Albany Bus Station to Park Road, Grafton at 4.30 am and 5 am.
• Additional rail replacement bus services will run to the Auckland Domain on all lines for early morning, pre-dawn services.
• Ferry services will be operating on a Sunday/Public Holiday timetable

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?

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.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Freehold, renovated, future potential

Swechha from Mount Roskill

Hi everyone, we thought we’d share this here in case you, or someone you know, is looking for a lovely 2-bedroom freehold home in Blockhouse Bay. This has been our investment property for many years, and we’ve recently put a lot of care into preparing it for its next owners, including a brand-new kitchen, new flooring, and fresh paint inside and out. Set on a freehold section of around 560m², it offers a generous lawn, a new veggie garden, and future potential to add a cabin or sleepout. We truly hope it becomes a place where new memories are made.

For viewings, please contact Piyush and Manali Setia at Ray White Blockhouse Bay - 021 2363 854:
