bloody hell, another false alarm at Waitematā. ffs trains were already shit this morning. waste of a perfectly good lunch break more like.

nah it's not incompetence, just old building issues. but ok.

Hana Stewart2026-07-21T22:23:29.000Z

evacuated for nothing lol classic. hope they checked the fire alarm properly this time. last time the sensor was just dusty.

yeah nah get stuffed. this happens too often. it's just incompetence.

Morgan Lee2026-07-21T22:56:29.000Z

my commute was a nightmare cos of this. whole station closed and no one told us where to go. typical AT.

facts. between this and the bus delays, Auckland PT is a joke.

Rowan Blake2026-07-22T00:01:29.000Z

mate the fire alarms at that station go off every few months. get some proper maintenance for once. sick of it.

Kai Thompson2026-07-21T23:49:29.000Z

meanwhile the trains are always late anyway. false alarm just adds to the fun 🙄

Ruby Fraser2026-07-22T00:07:29.000Z

I'd rather have a false alarm than a real fire tbh. but yeah communication was poor. typical AT.

Kai Thompson2026-07-22T00:25:29.000Z

you serious? it's a waste of everyone's time. ffs.

Hana Stewart2026-07-22T00:23:29.000Z

can't believe ppl are roasting the fire service. they gotta check. better safe than sorry.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-22T00:36:29.000Z
