Hamilton train

A new commuter rail service between Hamilton and Auckland will start running from the beginning of August. The service will run two early morning trains from Hamilton and two return trips in the evening each week day and a single return on Saturday. Funding of $90 million for the service was announced last August. The service will leave Frankton in Hamilton and then stop at The Base in Rotokauri before going on to Huntly and finally stopping in Papakura, where passengers can change onto the Auckland public transport network.
