| 1374137 | 2014-05-06 23:30:00 | What is the weekend service like on all Auckland suburban lines?, one of my hopes is to have a free weekend up there and simply ride all the lines. I lived in AK in the early-mid 80's and never rode a suburban train but have caught the Wn-Ak train three or four times now so at least the main-trunk section is familiar. Is the weekend service quite regular, particularly the line out West appeals? Cheers |

Onehunga and Manukau services are hourly. |

Be aware that there are occasional weekend shutdowns for development work. Check with the website before you commit. |

| 1374140 | 2014-05-07 06:59:00 | Why would an electric multiple unit require that? :p They are Spanish EMUs, so a Bull Fighter has to wave his Red Sheet at the train. This frees up the Council Officers usually doing that (Bull Sheeters) to locate areas with good access and force the building of intensive housing until road traffic is choked uniformly across the region. This makes the trains look less bad. ;) |

I'm sure bike seats will go down well during the rush hour.. |
