AT---April Rail Upgrades Full closure scheduled from 12 - 27 April 2025
The City Rail Link is the biggest and most transformational rapid transit development for Auckland. It will be worth the wait. Before it opens in 2026, critical work on Auckland’s rail network must be delivered first. This work will unlock faster journey times, fewer delays and trains every 4-5 minutes at peak.
From Saturday 12 April to Sunday 27 April 2025, no trains will be running. Rail replacement buses will replace trains while we upgrade the rail network and improve your journey.
Rail replacement bus services
========================
All-stop bus services (RBE, RBS, RBO and RBW) will run throughout the closure with additional weekday express rail buses on the Southern Line (RBSX).
Customers with wheelchairs or mobility scooters that are too large to take on rail replacement buses will be able to book a free mobility taxi by phoning the Contact Centre on 09 366 6400.
Free travel for Veterans this ANZAC Day
================================
This ANZAC Day, veterans and uniformed officers can travel for free with either a SuperGold card or an RSA membership card for uniformed and retired service personnel.
This applies across all AT Metro bus, rail bus, and ferry services. It excludes Fullers 360 Waiheke, SeaLink vehicle transport to/from Waiheke, Great Barrier Island and Rakinoferry services.
On ANZAC Day, there will be no trains; however, as well as the usual bus services, AT will provide additional early morning bus and rail replacement bus services, including:
• Additional NX1 services to the Auckland Domain will operate between Albany Bus Station to Park Road, Grafton at 4.30 am and 5 am.
• Additional rail replacement bus services will run to the Auckland Domain on all lines for early morning, pre-dawn services.
• Ferry services will be operating on a Sunday/Public Holiday timetable
