    Hi Jon and helpers
    Many thanks for these photos.
    I’m still curious of other works say the eastern line and the bridges in Manurewa.
    there may be a few surprises we don’t know about

    Does anyone know, how much are they lowering the rails?

  4. Matt L says:

    Diego - I’m not 100% sure but I believe there needs to be 5m clearance above the tracks

  5. patrick says:

    there must be a few bridges around panmure that will need attention also

  6. Matt L says:

    Patrick, My understanding is the eastern line will get the bridge works next year. It was the western lines turn last year.

  7. Andrew says:

    The Eastern Line is getting attention at Purewa Tunnel this summer (track lowering and yet another attempt to fix drainage). It will be one of the last lines to be electrified so they have more time to do bridges there.

    Thanks Matt L, appreciate the info :)
