\KiwiRail’s Auckland Metro Programme Newsletter includes information about their work taking place on the Auckland rail network over the Easter network closure and includes:
- Progressing final stages of Rail Network Rebuild (RNR): The focus of the Easter works will mostly be on priority areas of the Southern Line, between Wiri and Papakura.
- Completing the Wiri to Quay Park, Third Main Line project that will separate passenger and freight trains on the busiest parts of the network; this is soon to be opened to freight trains.
- Working with their partners at Auckland Transport on the final stages of the Middlemore Station redevelopment.
- Ongoing work on the Western Power Feed in Glen Eden, which will add greater electrical capacity to the network in Auckland, boosting its resilience and allowing for future growth.
- Progressing construction on new train stations at Drury and Paerātā in South Auckland.
- Building a third platform and additional tracks at Henderson Station, as well as completing the upgrade of the lifts as part of Auckland Transport’s station improvements.

Auckland Transport will continue to keep rail commuters regularly updated through their channels.
While no trains will be running on the network over the Easter closure, they encourage people to remain vigilant at level crossings as work trains and rail vehicles will still be active on the network.
