Following the recent announcement by KiwiRail of the Christmas/Holiday Block of Line plan for Auckland, we would like to inform you of the changes to rail coverage for freight services to and from Auckland Metroport and the Port of Tauranga.

KiwiRail's announcement confirmed line closures will affect rail freight services from 27th December 2024 until 27th January 2025, effectively between Hamilton and Auckland. The closures are required as part of Auckland’s City Rail Link (CRL) work programme.

KiwiRail are providing a temporary road-bridge solution. Dry containers will be road-bridged between Hamilton and Auckland Metroport. Reefer containers will be road-bridged direct to/from Tauranga and Auckland Metroport. We are working closely with Port of Tauranga and KiwiRail, monitoring cargo flows during this period with an aim to deliver seamless service coverage for your cargo.
