Auckland’s widespread train disruption on Friday was caused by an overhead line problem resulting from contaminants on the insulator caused by bad weather, according to KiwiRail. Commuter services were halted for several hours during the morning rush hour, affecting an estimated 10,000 passengers. Auckland mayor Wayne Brown blamed the disruption on years of under-investment in rail infrastructure, while National Party transport spokesperson Simeon Brown said the government needed to deliver a more reliable public transport system.
