7000 passengers were recorded for Saturday night’s trial RWC trains to Eden Park - for the Tri-Nations clash.
Authorities say the rail service generally worked very well.
Their aim is for the RWC pool matches to have 60% of fans arrive by ways other than private cars (rail, bus, walking, taxi) and that target jumps to 75% for the finals.
They want to move more than 15,300 people by rail for each RWC 2011 game at Eden Park.
- Rugby fans arrive at Kingsland for Saturday’s match
The authorities say the only transport issues that needed some improvement from Saturday night related to taxis and charter buses.

Isn’t a bus station part of the expansion plans as well? I remember seeing it on plans located at the southwestern edge of the site. That still in the plans?
I presume you mean 15,300!? and how much peeps can Eden park take?
About 60K, after the upgrade is done. I think after the RWC it may be shrunk down again somewhat, by removal of a temporary stand, but I am not perfectly sure if that is still on.
