Train services in Auckland have been delayed and cancelled after a fault caused a train to stop mid-journey, blocking one of the two tracks.
On Wednesday morning Auckland Transport said Southern, Eastern and Western line train services were facing disruptions because of the fault.
"Auckland Transport’s (AT) train services have experienced delays and some cancellations this morning due to a fault which stopped the Te Huia train between Britomart and Parnell, blocking one of the two tracks," an AT spokesperson said.

In an update on Wednesday afternoon, AT said the Te Huia train has now been moved and both lines are clear.
