Riley Scott2026-06-16T08:12:21.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, it's maintenance delays not a conspiracy

Phoenix Reid2026-06-16T07:27:21.000Z

Glad to hear it's reopening! Hope everyone involved is okay 🙏

Kai Thompson2026-06-16T07:36:21.000Z

mate they need to upgrade the whole network, not just patch it

Kai Thompson2026-06-16T07:32:21.000Z

ran a red light?? classic driver error, not the tracks fault. but nah they'll blame the signals again

Phoenix Reid2026-06-16T08:27:21.000Z

at least they're fixing it quick. remember when the kapiti line was shut for months?

Rowan Blake2026-06-16T08:00:21.000Z

derailments every few months at this rate. guess i'll keep driving

Drew Parker2026-06-16T08:49:21.000Z

Riley Scott2026-06-16T08:07:21.000Z

just what we needed after a long day, more disruption. glad it's sorted but still

Ella Thompson2026-06-16T08:23:21.000Z

Jamie Fox2026-06-16T09:19:21.000Z

Taylor Wright2026-06-16T08:31:21.000Z
