Wellington commuters are being told to expect significant delays with bus replacements on the Hutt Valley and Melling lines due to a mechanical fault. A mechanical issue has left Wellington without trains for a second commuter rush. The issue, caused by damage from a track obstruction, means no trains will be running on the Hutt Valley and Melling lines, which will be replaced by buses. The Kāpiti Line is running as a reduced service, with no express trains during the morning peak. On Thursday morning, NZTA reiterated the advice, warning people should expect significant delays.
