Incident on Hutt Valley line
Huge crowds of commuters are stuck in Wellington train station as emergency services respond to an incident on the Hutt Valley Line. As of 5pm, hundreds of people are queuing at the station.
According to police, the incident was reported around 3.45pm.
Those waiting were told a "police incident" had closed the line and that replacement buses would be provided, although no timeframe was given.
All services on the Hutt Valley Line, between Wellington and Taitā, have been suspended, according to Metlink.
“Bus replacement services are incredibly limited.
“Please expect delays to your travel and seek other transport where possible.”
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)
