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.

Local Pokeno resident and ex-Pukekohe High School student Sophia Chen has graduated from a national scholarship programme, supported by local company Counties Energy.

Chen, who won her First Foundation scholarship to study biomedical engineering and science (with a major in psychology and computer science) at the University of Auckland, has been working at Counties Energy during her holidays.

She graduated from the programme in June, and was celebrated at First Foundation ceremony for graduates and their whānau.

Chen said university has been a steep learning curve.

“I’m really grateful for the support from Counties Energy along the way. I’m especially grateful for everyone on the team who made this experience enriching and welcomed me with open arms. I will cherish and benefit from the gained life lessons for years to come.”

Counties Energy General Manager Safety, Culture and Sustainability Tracey Kay said it was an honour to offer the scholarship to Chen.

“Sophia has been an absolute pleasure to have as part of the team for three years,” Kay said.

“We’ve watched her grow from a school student leaving Pukekohe High School to a mature, confident, extremely diligent and dedicated young woman who has brought so much knowledge and joy to our team, the office and our events.

“We wish her the very best on her future pathway and know she will be successful in anything she puts her mind to.”

Counties Energy is partnering with another First Foundation scholarship recipient, ex-Pukekohe High School student Isabella Coughlin.
