Your commuter trains have been cancelled until further notice due to a freight train derailing between the Hutt Valley and Kapiti lines.

Metlink has not been able to source enough replacement buses to transport the approximately 20,000 passengers who travel by train during the weekday peak morning period so you have simply been given up on.
