Train cancellations, delays, as track fault closes Britomart station

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

Heads up central Aucklanders!

A track fault has closed Auckland’s Britomart train station, disrupting travel.

Auckland Transport said the fault occurred early on Thursday morning, and it alerted public transport users at 5.45am to the disruptions.

Delays and cancellations are expected as the station is “temporarily closed” due to the issue.

All services that head to Britomart would be stopping at Newmarket.

Replacement services are operating between the two stations.

As of 9am, the station remained closed.

“The Onehunga line is cancelled between Britomart and Penrose,” AT said.

“Rail replacement buses are running between Newmarket and Britomart.”

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
