Auckland Brick Show is on this weekend at Auckland netball centre. Take the EW line to Glen Innes (every 15m) and transfer to Route 747 (every 30m) for a 3 minute trip. 7 minute transfer so perfect amount of time to cross the street.

The National Party Campaign Chair, Simeon Brown, is responsible for this as Minister of Health (just as he is the guy that increased car speeds around schools and on dangerous roads when Minister of Transport). rnz.co.nz/news/health/109292…

Ahead of the City Rail Link opening to passengers on 13 September 2026, the public got an opportunity to look through each station on three separate weekends, starting with Maungawhau station. We attended a Sneak Peek event the night before. nzrailphotos.co.nz/photos/ci…

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Govt withholds transfer of three new rail stations to Auckland, citing 'buffoonery'

Govt withholds transfer of three new rail stations to Auckland, citing 'buffoonery'

A risk to the Govt books of several hundred million dollars means three new rail stations won't become part of Auckland Transport's stable as expected
