Bus filmed travelling wrong way on busy Wellington motorway

A bus has been caught on video going the wrong way on a busy Wellington motorway on Monday.

Newshub has received two videos that show a Metlink bus going the wrong way up Ngauranga Gorge on State Highway 1.

The first video recorded by a member of the public, shows the bus driving the wrong way. The second video shows the bus pulled over on the northbound lanes facing south facing a police car.

"Motorists are asked to take extra care and if possible avoid travelling northbound on State Highway 1 in Wellington," police said in a statement.

"A bus has travelled south in the northbound lanes - it has now come to a stop near Tyres Road at the bottom of the Ngauranga Gorge, and police are in attendance.

"There are no reported injuries, or significant damage reported at this stage."
