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Kāpiti trains have been replaced by buses between Porirua and Wellington, but there are limited buses are available.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.

It has had a good wipe down with hot soapy water and the seat has been through the washing machine. The musical carousel doesnt play music anymore, but baby can turn the pictures around manually. The legs are height adjustable, and you can have it in roll around mode (concave base) or use the flip out stabiliser on the bottom too.

From a smoke free home. Pick up in Churton Park.

Price: $30

Hi neighbours,

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.

But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.

Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.

Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.

Hi there,
I am posting on behalf of my 23 year old daughter who is a Teacher, primary school trained who is fully registered. She is looking for child care/ babysitting work over the summer holiday break while she comes back home to the family. She has plenty of experience with children (both teaching and childcare/ babysitting), a full clean driver's licence, a First Aid Certificate and excellent references. She is available from the end of the teaching school year (16th of December). She is currently based in Auckland but will be home with family over the holiday season.

Hi neighbours,

How sweet is Joan Hodgins? The Kāpiti woman recently celebrated her 90th birthday by treating 34 children to a day of adventure - which included Scenic flights, a trip to Wellington Zoo and a ride on a double-decker "party bus". It was a day that rewarded children who had overcome tough times, Hodgins said.

"I thought that instead of having a lavish birthday party I could do something for children with difficulties. After all, if you're fortunate, isn't it nice to give to someone else?" To read more about Joan's story, click here.

Bird breeding season means it's also trapping pests season!

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Right now it’s bird breeding season, which means extra vigilance when trapping!

The number of rats, stoats, and other bird predators you’re trapping may well go down as there are plenty of baby birds for them to dine out on instead of trap bait ☹️ So it’s really important to increase the effectiveness of these traps by clearing them much more often! This is the best thing you can do for the birds in your area between October and December.
