We're trialling a new plan for the bus replacement services on the Hutt Valley Line
We’ve been running replacement bus services on evenings and weekends while upgrades to the Hutt Valley rail line go ahead. To improve the services, we’re trialling something new – a train from Wellington to Melling with onward bus replacement services to Upper and Lower Hutt. Alicetown and Petone residents please note, Ava station will not be serviced during the trials. To find your nearest alternative station, use the Journey Planner at www.metlink.org.nz...
The trials are 10 to 13 March and 31 March to 3 April. Let us know how it goes and whether you think it’s an improvement. For details and to provide feedback go to www.metlink.org.nz... or call 0800 801 700.

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)
