A fault with KiwiRail's overhead power lines has caused commuter chaos across Auckland this morning, with train services cancelled across the city.
The fault at Grafton resulted in power being switched off for safety reasons, forcing Auckland Transport to cancel all southern and eastern line services between Ōtāhuhu and Britomart, as well as all Western & Onehunga Line services.
This has impacted tens of thosuands of passengers, and because of the late notice of the outage, Auckland Transport says it was only able to provide a small number of bus replacements.
