Control centre to ease Auckland's train woes

From Morning Report, 7:23 am on 15 March 2024

 

Auckland's rail operators are promising the city's trains will run smoother, as a new control centre provides hope there will be no repeat of January's commuter train chaos.

The centre will put staff from One Rail, Kiwirail and Auckland Transport into one office and aims to provide a speedier response to faults on the rail network - especially when the City Rail Link goes live. 
 
But as Maia Ingoe reports, a cloud is hovering over the project, with millions of dollars more needed to complete the network rebuild.
