- Trainspotting (2026) Actually, it’s Auckland’s 23rd electric train – just landed, and off to complete the fleet of 95, in the lead-up to the opening of the City Rail Link. More here: business.scoop.co.nz/2026/02/05/a... And with Hot To Go soundtrack here: 🙌 💖 www.instagram.com/p/DUWdXCgE92S/
- Our Weekly Roundup is a day early, on account of the holiday weekend ahead! Featuring: trains, streets, wacky bridge brain-waves, road safety for kiwi travellers (the feathered variety AND the human kind), and a timely invitation to "bike to the beach" 🚲 🏖️ www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2026/02/05/w...
- The era of regular rail shutdowns in Auckland is almost over, phew! But train ridership has fallen in recent years, suggesting a loss of public confidence. Now, with the CRL opening on the horizon, is Auckand Transport ready to run a proper metro timetable? Matt Lowrie tracks some worrying signs...
- Comment of the day (so far) 👀 "You lads have just seen an iceberg in the distance from the deck of the SS ATitanic. Here in the bridge the crew are looking at charts for an ocean that doesn’t exist and the captain is looking out the wrong porthole. That is 100% how it feels after dynamic testing."
