Last week, in a bolt from the blue, KiwiRail and Auckland Transport announced a series of major shutdowns to train lines in the Super City. Part of a $330 million overhaul, the network upgrade will replace the rock foundations underneath the tracks. The project will impact the entire line, meaning all Aucklanders who rely on rail will be affected at some point over the next two years.
Mayors may come and go but rail disruptions seemingly last forever.
