Changes to train lines
With the CRL open, our train lines have changed:
- The Onehunga Line is now the Onehunga West Line (O-W).
- The Eastern Line is now part of the East West Line (E-W).
- The Western Line is now part of the East West Line (E-W).
- The Southern Line is now the South City Line (S-C).
For people coming from the west, the new rail lines may mean changing the way you travel. In peak hours, people coming from stations in the west will need to change trains or get on a bus to reach Grafton, Newmarket, and Parnell stations.
Getting to Grafton, Newmarket and Parnell by train
For Grafton or Newmarket, change to a South-City Line train service at Karanga-a-Hape Station.
For Parnell, change to the South-City Line at any of the city centre stations.
If you travel off-peak (after 9am and before 4pm) or at the weekends, an Onehunga-West train service from any station between Henderson and Maungawhau will take you to Grafton and Newmarket.
Getting to Grafton, Newmarket and Parnell by bus
For Grafton and Newmarket, change to the 64 bus on Mount Eden Road (Stop 8503) at Maungawhau Station.
