The delaysare expected to continue throughout the morning as services return to the regular timetable.

Auckland Transport has apologised for the inconvenience.
Train faults this morning mean the trains are giving me Tube flashbacks. Not even 1/3 of the way into britomart and yeah… turns out packing 3 train loads into one train is squishy af. pic.twitter.com/JMPKbEoscq
One commuter has tweeted that the Eastern Line is affected with only one train every 20 minutes and the services are currently eight minutes behind schedule.
Eastern Line is affected, only 1 train every 20mins & 8 mins behind schedule, according to the announcement I just heard. So much for getting up early to get to work early... should have stayed in bed. An alert via the AT app would have been good.
