A community campaign is gaining momentum in Auckland’s northwest, where locals are renewing their push to restore passenger train services to Kumeū-Huapai, a town that’s grown significantly in recent years but remains without a rail connection.
Currently, the Western Line stops at Swanson, and the only way for people to get into the city from places like Kumeū-Huapai and Waitakere is by car or bus.
Last weekend, locals held a meeting of around 100 people campaigning for trains to run from Huapai to Swanson, providing a shuttle link to the rest of Auckland’s rail network.
