Hi both.
 
I’m collating a bit of data on the Jville/Kapiti lines, and also on the cable car for the spatial plan.
 
If you guys are looking for a contact, Daniel Pou is helpful.
 
Cheers
 
Adam.

Hi Adam, off peak trains are all run by two car units, each two car unit can hold 246 people, sitting
and standing. Peak trains on the J’ville are all 4 car which is 492. Peak trains south of Porirua are
mostly run by 6-car trains which holds 738.
 
Hope this helps,

Hiya.

 
Sorry further to my earlier email I’d still appreciate if you could please send me info on theoretical
total capacity of say:
 
One off peak train for both lines
One peak train for both lines
 
Say a carriage can hold a max of 100 people and there are 4 during the Jville peak that’s a
theoretical capacity of 400 people per service. That’s the high level of info that’d be super helpful
please.
 
Cheers!

Hi Daniel.
All good, hope you had a good weekend.
 
Thanks for that advice. I’ll check with the Cable car folk and let you know.
 
Cheers
 
Adam.

Hi Adam, sorry was on leave last week – but we don’t hold the cable car info, is the cable car a WCC
CCO?

Hi Daniel.
 
Further to my email below –
 
Just letting you know that we have received a LGOIMA request which asks for any communication
between WCC and other Local Government organisation on the definition of ‘rapid transit stop’ and

‘rapid transit service’. The request is due at the end of the month and will include our email
exchange below. We are able to redact your contact details but we will need to display your name
and title.
 
Let me know if you have any concerns. Our Assurance contact, Asha, is copied in here for any
questions.
 
Still keen for similar figures for the cable car if possible please.
 
Cheers
 
Adam.

Hi Daniel.
 
Thanks for these stats. They’re very useful.
 
Would it be possible to get a general indication of the theoretical total capacity of say:
 
One off peak train for both lines
One peak train for both lines
 
Say a carriage can hold a max of 100 people and there are 4 during the Jville peak that’s a
theoretical capacity of 400 people per service. That’s the high level of info that’d be super helpful
please.
 
Is that ok?
 
Sorry the Cable car request is a late addition from me – one of the Councillors is asking if that’s a
form of mass rapid transit, so similar figures, including theoretical maximum capacity of the
carriages would be great please.
 
Cheers
 
Adam.

Hi Adam, hope all is well with you. Sorry this took a bit longer than I was hoping for! I’ve put all the
info below, hopefully it makes sense – unfortunately it wasn’t quite a straight forward as just
getting a number for each question! I’ve tried to explain a little but give me a call if you have any

questions.
 
For the number of trains each hour, Johnsonville was pretty straight forward, but there are a
different number of trains running in the morning and afternoon on the kapiti line, I’ve put the
express trains that run straight to Porirua for your info.
 
There is a slightly different running time in the counter peak noted below. And bus replacements
are supposed to run to the same time as the trains on the J’ville line.
 
The punctuality, reliability and patronage figures include all Kapiti Line services, I couldn’t easily
strip out the performance and patronage just south of Porirua – I could probably get something for
the performance figures (but this may take another week or so), but that’s all we’ve got for
patronage.
 
And sorry I didn’t realise you were after cable car figures, I’m not sure what we’ve got for that but
will ask the question and let you know. Let me know if you have any questions:
 
Number of trains per hour
J’ville:
 
Peak: 4 trains per hour in both directions
Off Peak: 2 trains per hour in both directions
Porirua peak:
Express (Porirua express to Wellington): AM: 3 towards wellington and; PM 3 towards
Porirua
Stopping: 5 AM peak services between 7 and 8am towards wellington and 3 AM peak
services between 7 and 8am towards Porirua
3 PM peak services between 5 and 6pm towards Porirua and 3 PM peak services between 5
and 6pm towards wellington
Porirua off-peak:
3 both ways between 9 and 3 during mon-Fri
2 both ways all other off peak times
 
Travel time
J’ville:
Peak: 23 mins (counter peak 28 mins)
Off-peak: 23 mins
Porirua (Porirua to wellington):
Peak: 22mins
Off-peak: 21 mins
 
Reliability 2019/20 (%age of trains that have not been cancelled, run with less capacity and that
have stopped at every station):
J’ville: 97.5%
Waikanae: 95.4%
Punctuality (%age of services that have run on time (within five mins of their scheduled time)
J’ville: 96.5%
Waikanae: 86.7%
Patronage
J’ville:



Total: 1.13 million
Peak: 709k
Please note this is down 22.7% compared to last year due to covid (21.2% in peak)
Waikanae:
Total 4.82m  
Peak: 3.11 m
Please note this is down 19.7% compared to last year due to covid (also 19.7% in peak)

Hi Dan,
 
Is this something that Andrew or Dan could pull together?
 
Adam has said he would like it by the end of next week if possible.

Hi Barry.
 
Hope your Friday is going well.
 
As hinted at in my email to Matt, I’m looking for some data on the Jville and Kapiti line as part of
our work on the National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020.
This requires us to enable medium density development within a walkable catchment on rapid
transit stops (as defined below)
 
rapid transit stop means a place where people can enter or exit a rapid transit service,
whether existing or planned
 
rapid transit service means any existing or planned frequent, quick, reliable and high-
capacity public transport service that operates on a permanent route (road or rail) that
is largely separated from other traffic
 
We’ve considered this to be the JVille and Kapiti trainlines for the purpose of the draft spatial plan
we’re currently consulting on.
 
I’m after some info on the current (and future) state of those criteria for ‘rapid transit service’ to
inform this:
 
1.  Frequent (thinking info on both peak and off peak) – J'peak: 4 ph Porirua south services
2.  quick (thinking journey times to Wgtn station from each stop compared to bus) – running
times, table showing times from each services inc J’ville buses
3.  reliable (thinking stats on number of days or hours down each year?) – reliability and
punctuality
4.  high-capacity (thinking stats on #pax) - patronage
 
Are you able to help me please? Happy to chat via teams or phone.
 
Cheers

All,
 
Barry Fryer (cc’ed) is probably best placed to provide information on Tawa and JVL line services,
capacity and future growth plans.

Matt,
 
I think either Bonnie who is Manager Network and Customer or Andy would be able to help Adam
in the first instance.  I’ve copied both in – Andy or Bonnie, could you get back to Adam directly?
 
Thanks

Hi Matt.
 
Hope all’s good with you.
 
We’re in the depths of consultation on the Draft Spatial Plan. It’s been  going well, lots of spirited
conversations!
 
I’m wondering if you can please point me in the direction of someone at GWRC or Metlink that can
assist me to obtain figures relating to patronage, capacity, frequency of the Kapiti and JVille train
lines.
 
These are, based on our reading of the NPS-UD 2020, classed as Mass Rapid Transit. I’m looking for
these figures to inform our position.
 
Cheers
