Auckland trains will run only once every 20 minutes at peak times from tomorrow as rail workers strike over workloads.
Unionised Auckland One Rail (AOR) rail workers have refused to work overtime or altered rostered hours, as part of the industrial action.
Auckland Transport (AT) is advising commuters to plan ahead as the network operates on a reduced timetable that started yesterday, with peak train services only operating every 20 minutes.
“We currently do not know when this industrial action will be resolved,” says AT rail franchise manager Craig Inger.
“AOR has been in collective bargaining with the Rail and Maritime [Transport] Union of New Zealand and we are disappointed that it has come to industrial action, impacting many of our customers.”
