5:16pm and 5:46pm Britomart – Onehunga Services running – as Electric Trains

Written by Ben Ross - Talking Auckland

Good news. Lets hope this holds up

 

I received my usual updates on Twitter about whether the electric trains are running or not after facing Day 11 of being grounded since power infrastructure faults became significant two Sunday’s ago

And this is what greets me

The 5:16pm main peak service from Britomart to Onehunga coming out of the Newmarket tunnel heading towards Britomart

 

And just a few moments ago as I write this

 

The second main peak service the 5:46pm also got away on time as well.

 

So our electrics are back after 10.5 days being grounded. The catch is will they hold out or will that fault return? We wait and see.
