‘Trespassers in tunnel’ halt trains between Wellington and Porirua

Great, just what my morning commute needed… buses that don't run to timetable. Already late for my 8am lecture. Cheers lads 🚆💀

Probably just some kids being idiots, or another 'safety issue' they can't be bothered to explain properly. Metlink always looking for an excuse to cancel trains.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-15T19:50:00.000Z

it's just kids mucking around. But really, couldn't they just tell us sooner? Driving now instead of waiting.

Hana Stewart2026-06-15T19:50:00.000Z

Yeah nah, I work on the tracks. This stuff happens all the time. Pain in the arse for everyone but trespassers can get killed or cause serious delays. Just stay off the tracks ffs.

Grace Patel2026-06-15T20:10:00.000Z

C'mon, they overreact to every little thing. One dodgy email and the whole system shuts down.

Jack Morrison2026-06-15T20:12:00.000Z

it's the same excuses every time. Mate of mine works there says half the delays are just poor planning.

Rowan Blake2026-06-15T20:40:00.000Z

Exactly! And they never update the app properly. Standing at the bus stop like a lemon.

Hope everyone's okay. Let's not roast Metlink too hard if it's a safety thing. Could be someone having a rough time. Awful way to start the day though.

Alex Rivera2026-06-15T20:51:00.000Z

Same. I'd rather be late than hear someone got killed. Y'all need to chill.

Jack Morrison2026-06-15T20:53:00.000Z

I'm just wondering how hard is it to put up a proper fence or camera? This is like the 3rd time in a month. Taxpayer money well spent...

Alex Rivera2026-06-15T21:07:00.000Z

Oh mate that's annoying, hope you get to work okay. Bus replacement is always a mess but better safe than sorry I reckon.

Hana Stewart2026-06-15T22:00:00.000Z

seen a guy get hit by a train mate. Not pretty. The safety stops aren't for fun.

Hana Stewart2026-06-15T21:18:00.000Z

Trespassers in tunnels are a serious safety risk. We have to stop everything until we're sure it's clear. Not worth someone losing their life. Seen it happen. Trust me.

Jamie Fox2026-06-15T21:59:00.000Z

Agreed. A little patience goes a long way. Stay safe out there.
