Aucklanders who take the train will face more disruption this upcoming school holidays.
Several train services have been in and out of action while the city's new underground rail network the City Rail Link expected to open in late 2026 was under construction.
For 16 days from Saturday 28 June to Sunday 13 July, coinciding with the school and University break, no trains would run between Puhinui and Pukekohe stations on the Southern Line.
There would also be fewer train services on all lines except for the Onehunga Line during that time.
The pedestrian crossing at Takaanini Station would be closed to pedestrians.
On the last weekend of the school holidays, 12-13 July, trains from New Lynn to Swanson on the Western Line would be suspended.
Kiwirail said the partial rail network closure was needed for them to replace old foundations under tracks and upgrade drainage.
Auckland Transport said there would be rail replacement buses for the closed parts of the Southern Line, including an express service from Franklin.
Commuters were encouraged to check AT's website and mobile app for all temporary disruptions to the train network affecting them.
