Traffic regularly banks up to a standstill along SH16 through Kumeu and as far south as Drury on the Southern Motorway during morning weekday peak periods. Yet despite there being railway lines through these areas, there are either no train services or stations to serve them.
An easy and effective solution would be for the NZTA and Auckland Transport to extend the reach of train services west to Helensville and south to Pokeno and Waiuku using some of the now surplus diesel trains that Auckland has, which would help ease pressure on the city’s congested motorways.
