Incident on Hutt Valley line

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Huge crowds of commuters are stuck in Wellington train station as emergency services respond to an incident on the Hutt Valley Line. As of 5pm, hundreds of people are queuing at the station.

According to police, the incident was reported around 3.45pm.

Those waiting were told a "police incident" had closed the line and that replacement buses would be provided, although no timeframe was given.

All services on the Hutt Valley Line, between Wellington and Taitā, have been suspended, according to Metlink.

“Bus replacement services are incredibly limited.

“Please expect delays to your travel and seek other transport where possible.”
