Train services between Porirua and Wellington have been suspended due to an ongoing police incident, causing significant disruption for commuters.
Authorities have not released full details about the incident, but reports indicate people were seen inside railway tunnels along the route, prompting safety concerns and the suspension of rail services.
Bus replacement services have been arranged to transport affected passengers. However, commuters have reported that the replacement buses are filling up quickly, leading to delays and overcrowding at stations.
Officials are urging travellers to allow extra time for their journeys and to check for service updates before travelling.
Police and transport authorities remain at the scene as efforts continue to resolve the situation and safely restore train operations. No information has yet been released about those reportedly in the tunnels or whether any arrests have been made.
The disruption is expected to continue until authorities determine it is safe for trains to resume operating on the affected section of the network.
