Changes to Southern Line Rail Services this Weekend
The Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA) advises that a bus replacement service will be operating for all stations between Papakura and Papatoetoe on the Southern Line this weekend.
ARTA's General Manager, Customer Services, Mark Lambert says on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 September 2007 regular train services between Papatoetoe and Papakura stations will be replaced by buses to allow track maintenance and improvement work to take place.
"We understand that this may cause disruptions to passengers, but the work is an important component of the overall upgrade across the Auckland rail network. We advise passengers to check timetables and allow more time for their journey. The support and understanding of passengers is greatly appreciated,” Mr Lambert says.
