A shortage of train drivers is preventing the expansion of passenger services between Hamilton and Auckland.
The train driver shortage, as well as a holdup obtaining safety compliance, means additional non-peak services on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays probably won't be introduced until at least June, 2024.
It had been hoped they would be rolled out in October last year.
