Death On Wgtn Line
- Auckland Trains
- Long delays for Wellington commuters today. In what was officially described as being caused by a “medical emergency,” a man was hit by a train near Kenepuru and died. Buses replaced trains on the line until this afternoon. The train involved was the Capital Connection as it travelled into Wellington. Counselling was offered to the driver. Passengers were unharmed.
