Easter 2025 Rail Upgrades
Description
KiwiRail has major works planned across all rail lines. Buses will replace trains, and some services will run at reduced frequencies as KiwiRail makes improvements to the rail network over the Easter and ANZAC weekends.
As there are only three-week days between Easter Monday and ANZAC Day, as well as the school holidays, KiwiRail is using this opportunity to extend railway line closures and continued infrastructure upgrade work across all railway lines. Funded by the Government, these projects aim to create a more resilient and reliable network. Work includes track replacement and signal upgrades, which builds on recent achievements like completing the Wellington Station re-signalling project and replacing 8.8km of track inside the Remutaka Tunnel.
