A look at what’s coming 👀
Tūhono is bringing new battery-electric trains to the lower North Island – replacing the Wairarapa Line and the Capital Connection.
What matters most? Making public transport an easier, more reliable choice for everyday travel.
That’s why we’re working closely with train managers, drivers and accessibility groups to help shape the design from the start.

Every time you tag on and off, it helps Metlink understand how people use the network, so we can plan and review services to keep improving.

When travelling on a concession, remember to carry your ID and show it when asked. Together we can keep the network moving, one fare at a time 🪪
