It will be interesting to see what they actually do at Greenlane. I suspect the original platform isn’t long enough and the track has to be moved.
Good to see the extensions are being completed anyway.
It would be good if they had an entrance from Derry St, Adam St, or both
Network closure is Only for passenger trains freights still running to and from westfield

@Patrick When I was at Greenlane last it looked as though they were clearing/grading land adjacent to the current corridor for a track re-alignment to facilitate the platform extension - spot on I’d say.
I’d like to see the roundabout above extended to have stops right outside the station entrances. With integrated ticketing where you don’t get penalised for changing modes these stops would be well used.
well caught the train today after being told greenlane was open by the ticketer on board, turned out that it was not opened and i got charged an extra stage and got off at remuera. according to Veolia staff its open but to the passengers wanting to get off at greenlane but can’t then having to get off remuera it still closed
Jasmine, send in an email to complain.
I have but there must be other complaints just waiting to hear back however i caught it home yesterday afternoon but couldn’t get off this morning, i’m just really confused on how its working now.
I was on a south-bound service last night that stopped at Greenlane. Don’t know about north-bound because the train I caught this morning was skipping Greenlane and Remuera.
