Shrouded in bubble-wrap, the first of Auckland's 57 new electric trains has arrived from its Spanish factory, ready for testing to begin next month before starting work on the Onehunga-Britomart line in about April.
The train's three cars were trucked 25km from the waterfront early yesterday to Auckland Transport's new $100 million electric rail depot at Wiri.
The fleet is due to be delivered by mid-2015.
