Yellow Line bus service - detouring away from Waterloo Rd
From Tuesday 7th March until further notice all buses will detour away from Waterloo Rd while road works are carried out. Buses travelling from Rolleston towards the city will detour off Jones Rd onto Pound Rd, Enterprise Rd and Innovation Rd back onto Halswell Junction Rd to continue the normal route. Buses travelling from Hornby towards Rolleston will detour by continuing straight down Main South Rd onto Barters Rd and then back onto Jones Rd to continue the normal route. Bus stops 25527, 25710 and 25995 on Waterloo Rd and stop 46608 on Halswell Junction Rd will be closed during this time and a temporary stop will be available on Main South Rd instead (near Hornby Domain).

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
