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 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?
