The very first stretch of railway track for CRL has been installed – it runs between Te Waihorotiu Station (Aotea) and Waitematā Station (Britomart).

The City Rail Link 2022 Annual Report is out now. The report highlights milestones achieved under difficult circumstances, for the July 2021 - June 2022 financial year.

The friendly team at Maungawhau/Mount Eden Station came together this month to share how they actively work to manage the impacts of construction on residents and support local businesses.

This month we turn the spotlight on Glenn Gowthorpe, Head of Testing, Commissioning and Emergency Management.

Learn how the Maungawhau/Mount Eden Station team are reusing basalt unearthed during construction and incorporating it into the station streetscape.

The Te Waihorotiu Station (Aotea) team took part in the Heart of the City’s October art programme with the unveiling of new artwork across the construction site hoardings.

The regeneration of midtown, Te Waihorotiu Station’s (Aotea) neighbourhood, is well underway with plans announced for the transformation of Wellesley and Victoria Streets.

Over the next few years KiwiRail will carry out major upgrades to rail lines across Auckland, paving the way for more frequent commuter trains when CRL opens.

Each month we will take a look at the more technical terms from the construction and ‘translate’ them into more easy-to-understand terms.
