Matangi’s Slow Rollout
- Auckland Trains
- By the end of this week 40% of the new Matangi fleet will have arrived in Wellington. The rollout of the Wellington trains is still a very long drawn out affair. They are operating on the Hutt line at peak times. 15 2-car units are in Wellington. Of those, 9 2-car units are in service. The rest are being used for training. 3 more 2-car units are about to arrive by ship.
