33

Identify the 30 year investment pathway

required to deliver an integrated and resilient

Auckland rail network capable of supporting

existing and future passenger and freight

services.

34

ARDP assumptions

• Existing service passenger service patterns for first 10 years:

• All stops

• 10 min peak

• 15 min off peak

• Existing rail corridors plus CRL

• CRL proposed service patterns and high growth forecasts

• Ports of Auckland and Port of Tauranga increase dominance of

North Island export/import

• North Auckland Line to Northland remains open but no growth

• Auckland sea port stays “downtown”.

ARDP components

Decade 1 (FY16-25)

Decade 2 (FY26-35)

Decade 3 (FY36-45)

Short term programme

Infrastructure capacity

Freight efficiency and growth

Rolling stock, stabling and maintenance

Network resilience and performance

Level crossings

Stations and interchanges

Challenges

• Governance and Funding

• Delivery

• Resource

• Programme

• Managing Disruption

• Balancing freight and passenger needs

• New ways of working

40

Conclusion

• Dramatic change to Auckland rail system over

past 15 years

• Rail now playing a key role in Auckland

• Significantly more change to come as City Rail

Link gets underway and ARDP progresses

• Challenging for all – particularly users

• But a robust and resilient rail network underpins

Auckland’s transport system

• Essential to cater for growth and the Auckland

economy.
