Electric trains for Auckland
Auckland’s electric trains include the latest developments in railway technology and safety, and will be faster, quieter and energy efficient, making rail travel an attractive option for the city’s residents and visitors.Some key points about Auckland Transport’s electric trains:
• Auckland is getting fifty-seven brand new electric trains comprising 2 motor cars and 1 trailer car
• Each train will be able to carry up to 375 passengers
• Electric trains offer a faster, more frequent service
• Electric trains are environmentally friendly – energy efficient, quieter, and make no air pollution
Ensuring passengers are comfortable, well informed and safe is a key objective in the design and these trains will be faster, quieter and energy efficient. The new trains will include the latest developments in railway technology and safety and will provide comfortable and enjoyable rail travel for Aucklanders.
As the trains travel more swiftly than the current fleet they will be able to shave approximately 10 minutes off the travel from Papakura to Britomart allowing the
service to run more often and get passengers to their destinations quicker.
In preparation for the introduction of the trains, KiwiRail is electrifying Auckland’s suburban rail network. More information on the electrification of our rail network can be found at the KiwiRail website.
When will it happen?The new electric train service is expected to commence in early 2014 with the fleet progressively introduced across Auckland through 2014 and 2015. The full network service should be available in 2016.
The current network tries to connect many locations with many other locations – resulting in lots of routes at low frequencies.
Transforming The Network
The new network will utilise key interchanges to reduce network complexity, providing more efficient services at higher frequencies

Otahuhu ConnectivityRegular bus services between new Bus-Train Interchange and Otahuhu Town Centre
Multiple bus services will connect the Otahuhu Town Centre with the new interchange via Mason Avenue and the Recreation Precinct with an expected frequency of one bus every five minutes. These new services will be easy to understand and simple to use.
With the arrival of the New Network, the existing Otahuhu Transport Centre will be closed and new bus stops created on-street along Avenue Road and outside the recreation precinct on Mason Avenue. The new bus stops will feature modern shelter facilities, seating and canopies and will be fitted with the latest electronic timetable systems.
Otahuhu Linkages Project By creating strong, active pedestrian connectivity linking the town centre with the new interchange and recreation precinct, the linkages project will help create a safer, calmer traffic environment encouraging greater pedestrian activity.

Welcome
Transforming public transport in south Auckland Auckland Transport is moving to a simpler, more integrated public transport network that will use key interchanges to connect services.
Establishing a new, state-of-the-art bus-train interchange in Otahuhu is crucial to the success of the New Network in the south.
Public input into the design of the interchange is essential to ensuring this major facility reflects the needs of the community it serves and it achieves its potential as a catalyst for growth and rejuvenation in Otahuhu.
We welcome your feedback.

Auckland Transport is moving to a simpler and more integrated public transport network. This will deliver a New Network of buses and trains that will change the way people travel - including the need for some passengers to transfer at key interchanges
