Where we are working

KiwiRail and its contractors are always working to maintain and upgrade Wellington's rail network. Our teams try to keep disturbance to a minimum, but sometimes you will notice work going on in your area. 

This page lists significant upcoming short-term activity and disruption in the Wellington region. (Short-notice maintenance jobs to keep the trains running safely are not usually listed here.) 

  • To see an overview of our work in the Wellington region, visit Wellington Metro & Lower North Island.
  • For information about train timetables and bus replacements, visit Metlink.
