Were you affected by the train outages?
Trains running on the Kāpiti line in and out of Wellington have been suspended because of a power outage.
Metlink spokeswoman Emily Liddell said the cause of the power outage along a portion of track in Kaiwharawhara, which is used by the train line, is unknown.
The power outage was first recorded at 7.30am on Tuesday. It had caused the Hutt Valley, Melling, and Wairarapa lines to also be suspended, but those services had now resumed.
However, commuters should expect delays as services returned to normal.
Kāpiti trains have been replaced by buses between Porirua and Wellington, but there are limited buses are available. Trains will be operating between Waikanae and Porirua but will not be running to timetable.
Metlink buses 60E, 236, and 290 will be accepting rail tickets while rail services are suspended.
