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: Have you ever had a scary flight?
A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
