One passenger was injured this morning when a Wellington train hit a concrete safety block.
The passenger on the 7.50am Melling train admitted themselves to hospital but their injuries were not known as they did not report their injury to train staff at the scene, a KiwiRail spokeswoman said.
Nine
passengers, a driver and guard were on the train when it hit the block at the end of the rail line.
Melling station is the end of the Melling line in the Hutt Valley.
The spokeswoman said KiwiRail and the Transport Accident Investigation Commission were investigating and she could not give details on how the incident happened while the investigation was underway.
