An Auckland Transport spokesperson said part of the Western railway line was closed.
Trains would be running between Britomart and Morningside and between New Lynn and Swanson every 20 minutes. Rail buses would cover the distance between Morningside and New Lynn.
Auckland Transport said the partial closure would likely continue into the afternoon peak and asked the public to use scheduled bus services where possible.
