Planned closures - Te Huia

Due to track work on the lines between Hamilton and Auckland, or within Auckland itself there are some times when the Te Huia service will not run. These closures are planned months in advance and we’ll aim to give you as much notice as we can. From time to time, KiwiRail may be forced to make late changes so please check the Transit App before you travel to ensure the service is running as scheduled.

For planned closures occuring Monday to Friday, rail replacement buses will operate (except for public holidays). Rail replacement services will not operate on Saturdays. Rail replacement bus services operate to the same timetable as train. However, due to traffic conditions, buses maybe delayed in arriving and departing.

Please check back the week of your travel as we reserve the right to update this list in alignment with network schedules.

 

Planned closures - Auckland Transport 

Passengers disembarking at Papakura will be affected by ongoing track maintenance and upgrade work causing disruption to the AT Southern Line. Please check Auckland Transport Service Announcements for the most up to date information.
