Digger cuts the signal cable

More issues for the Auckland Rail Network this evening with a digger cutting the signal cable at Otahuhu.

As of now (when the post was written) from limited Auckland Transport Tweets Eastern Line services are terminating at Syliva Park or running to Manukau while the Southern Line covered by the diesels are running every 20 minutes (timetable suspended again). But Tweets are infrequent and no presser to the media or the blogs on the situation. Auckland Transport must be “too busy again” to deal with it (This Is What Auckland Transport Thinks of You – The Rail Passenger [UPDATED])

I was forwarded this link and it seems rather apt:

Stay safe Auckland as we are still under a Severe Thunderstorm WATCH with reports of more thunder cells rolling in from the Tasman!
