We need to work on about 100km of rail track, across the Southern, Eastern and Western lines. We can only repair or replace the rail track when there are no trains running.
We are working closely with Auckland Transport to organise appropriate times to complete these works.
We are closing sections of the network to trains for up to four weeks at a time, so our teams can get this work done.
When our teams are able to work 24/7 they can finish the job more quickly and with less overall disruption for both neighbours and those using the trains.
Trains are also being stopped earlier in the evening than usual on some lines, so we can reduce the number of nights we need to work in your neighbourhood.

You may experience noise and vibration from machinery, lights and vehicles moving around. We are aware that this may disturb some of our neighbours and we apologise for this.
Our staff and contractors are mindful when working in residential areas and work hard to get the work done as quickly and quietly as possible.
The track is replaced or repaired in several phases and our teams may need to return at different times to the track near your property.
Additional work may also be required at a future date to complete the job. Keep an eye on our schedule below as we update our areas of work.
