Auckland trains suspended
Auckland's train network is down and no trains are currently operating. Warnings are in place due to possible toxic smoke after a recent fire.
What you need to know:
- A large fire which broke out in the Auckland suburb of Favona overnight has been contained.
- Fire is causing a large plume of toxic smoke and South Auckland residents were advised to close all windows and doors and wear a mask as a precaution. The wind has now changed and Greenlane, Ellerslie, Mt Wellington and Penrose are also affected.
- King's College in Ōtāhuhu is closed today due to the smoke.
- Auckland’s train network is completely down with KiwiRail asked to evacuate its control centre.
You can keep up to date with the status of the trains on the Auckland Transport website.
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?
-
0% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
0% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated
Stolen Haro red mountain bike
My son’s red Haro mountain bike was stolen near Cornwall Park Avenue.
It was parked at our residence on 22nd January at around 8:00pm. We discovered it missing on 25th January at around 2:00pm.
If anyone living near Cornwall Park Avenue has CCTV footage between those dates and times, could you please check and let me know if you notice anything suspicious or see a red Haro mountain bike (photo attached)?
We would really appreciate any help. Please message me if you have any information.
Thank you so much.
