Hutt Valley Line trials will now include Ava Station
While upgrades to the Hutt Valley rail line go ahead we’re running trials involving a train from Wellington to Melling with onward bus replacement services to Upper and Lower Hutt. We listened to your feedback and will now provide bus services at Ava station during the next trial. We are also looking into how we can improve the connection to regular Metlink bus services at Waterloo.
The next trial times are:
Sun 31 March (6:00am to midnight)
Mon 1 April to Wed 3 April (8:00pm – midnight)
For details and to provide feedback go to www.metlink.org.nz... or call 0800 801 700.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
