Finding your way around Metlink fares
Everything you need to know about Metlink fares is available in a new brochure, available at Metlink stockists now. The brochure includes the new Airport Flyer fares, and contains easy-to-use sections about prices and tickets for children, Super Gold cardholders and other concessionary fares.
Preparing for the new trains
A great deal of work is being done on our rail network to get ready for the new Matangi trains, due to begin arriving from 2010. Signalling and electrical equipment is being upgraded and several station platforms will need to be altered to cater for the bigger trains. A third line is being created between Kaiwharawhara and Wellington Railway Station to widen the bottleneck near the station and reduce queuing times. Check www.metlink.org.nz for the latest information about station and line closures while the work is being done.
