man it's lunchtime and I just wanted to eat my sandwich in peace but nah gotta hear about this copper stealing nonsense again 🙄

Noah Bennett2026-06-16T00:02:14.000Z

Great, another delay on the Kapiti line. Was it actually a person on the tracks or just the usual KiwiRail excuses?

Mia Carter2026-06-16T00:17:14.000Z

so sick of this. every second week there's some copper thief mucking up the trains. get a real job ya muppets.

Drew Parker2026-06-16T00:32:14.000Z

anyone know if the trains are running again? stuck in Porirua with cold chips from the bakery 🙃

Drew Parker2026-06-16T00:59:14.000Z

nah still cancelled mate, just saw the announcement on FB. cold chips buddies 🤝

Finn Walker2026-06-16T00:49:14.000Z

ffs, it's never just a simple trespasser is it. always gotta be stealing something. hope they catch the idiots

Noah Bennett2026-06-16T01:04:14.000Z

Classic KiwiRail spin. "Trespassers cutting copper" yeah right, probably forgot to pay the power bill and the whole signal system crashed again.

Mia Carter2026-06-16T01:35:14.000Z

truth. they spend more on consultants than actual maintenance

Mia Carter2026-06-16T01:17:14.000Z

Copper prices must be booming for people to risk getting cooked on the third rail. Darwin award nominees.

Noah Bennett2026-06-16T01:44:14.000Z

reckon the third rail might sort out the metal thieves for good. one less problem amirite

Sophie Ngata2026-06-16T01:34:14.000Z

Honestly, I'm more annoyed at the lack of communication. Stood at the station for 40 mins with no info. KiwiRail app is a joke.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-16T02:05:14.000Z

the app is useless but let's be real, the whole system is held together with sellotape and hope
