Trains back on
Pukekohe station is re-opening and full services will resume shortly.
The first Pukekohe to Papakura service will be at 2.53pm this afternoon.
There was some concern about possible storm damage to the signal box but a structural engineer has inspected the building and has found nothing to indicate any issues with it.
After talking with operator KiwiRail, Auckland Transport is re-opening the signal box and resuming train shuttles to Papakura.
We’d like to thank our customers for their patience. Auckland Transport and its partners KiwiRail and Transdev are committed to ensuring the safety of our passengers and staff.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
