Auckland train commuters have faced delays today because of a "crew matter".

An announcement at stations this morning said this was causing a number of train service delays and cancellations.

Auckland Transport spokesman Mark Hannan told the Herald at 8.20am: "There was a train crew matter earlier that has been resolved but it is having a knock-on effect meaning some services are running up to 10 minutes behind schedule.

"The timetable is gradually being caught up."

Train operator Transdev wouldn't answer questions about the delays, referring the Herald to Auckland Transport.

Auckland Transport spokesman Mark Hannan said an investigation was under way into what he earlier called a "crew matter".

He said it was an operational incident and declined to answer further questions about it.
