New Zealand: Residual rail transport disruptions likely in Auckland after emergency services incident May 26
Residual rail transport disruptions likely in Auckland, New Zealand, early May 26 after emergency incident. Allot extra travel time.
Event
Residual delays are likely after an emergency services incident at Glen Eden Station prompted rail disruptions in western Auckland early May 26. Authorities have now cleared Western Line trains to run the full route between Britomart and Swanson after previously terminating Western Line services from Britomart at New Lynn.
Heightened demand for bus services, as well as taxi and ride-hailing services, is likely over the coming hours. Increased traffic congestion is also possible, as some commuters will probably use private vehicles.
Advice
Confirm rail schedules. Plan for increased congestion on roadways and alternative transport. Allow extra time to reach destinations.
