Te Huia’s long-anticipated Sunday rail service between Waikato and Auckland has received final approval and is officially set to begin later this month.
The first Sunday train will depart Hamilton’s Frankton station at 2.45pm on Sunday, 27 July, arriving at Auckland’s central Strand station at 5.17pm.
The return journey will leave Auckland at 6.15pm, with passengers back in Hamilton by 8.37pm.
With the launch now confirmed, the Sunday service means Te Huia will offer seven-day-a-week rail travel between Hamilton and Auckland.
The addition of a Sunday service marks a milestone for the inter-regional rail connection, which is entering the final year of its trial.
