Issues continue to plague Wellington's train network
today after three separate faults caused cancellations and
delays yesterday.
The 7.05am Taita service in the Hutt Valley was cancelled
this morning after an "operational issue", Tranz Metro said
on its website.
The 7.19am Taita service was delayed by up to 10 minutes "due
to a mechanical issue", and the Capital Connection service
was running up to 15 minutes late "due to operational
issues".
A mechanical fault led to yesterday's 7.27am and 8am Taita
services being cancelled.
Also yesterday, a signal and points failure around 11am saw
trains replaced by buses between Plimmerton and Paraparaumu.
A telecommunications fault near Trentham, in the Hutt Valley,
caused delays of up to 40 minutes on the Hutt Valley line
between 6.50am and 8.10am yesterday.
The same fault also led to the cancellation of the 8.10am
Plimmerton train, on the main trunk line north.
They were the latest of numerous faults in recent months
which had coincided with a drop in commuter numbers.
