Trains will run every 4-5 minutes at rush hour when City Rail Link opens
Aucklanders will have a "turn up and go" service, with trains running every four to five minutes at peak times through the central city, when the $5.5 billion City Rail Link opens sometime next year. That's the word from Auckland Transport as it announced three new train lines crossing much of the city and linking to the Northern and Northwestern busways. AT chief executive Dean Kimpton said the reconfigured network will make it easier for Aucklanders to go to work and places they love to spend time in.
The timeline: Exactly when AT takes control of the CRL is unclear, with the practical completion date of November 26 pushed out to 2026. CRL Ltd chief executive Patrick Brockie said there's still a significant amount of work to do before Aucklanders can ride trains through the link's twin 3.4km tunnels, including completing more than 16,000 tests, integrating the CRL with the existing rail network, training drivers and gaining regulatory approvals.
