Request for City Rail Link timeframes, capacity, and operating patterns

Matt Beardsworth made this Official Information request to Auckland Transport

The request was successful.

From: Matt Beardsworth

Dear Auckland Transport,

Could I please have any relevant information released to answer the following questions regarding the City Rail Link? Understand if some information will need to be redacted.

1. What is the current envisioned completion date for the City Rail Link, taking into account any effects of the COVID-19 pandemic? Has there been any change from the previously-announced completion date of 2024?

2. What will the initial capacity of the City Rail Link be upon its opening? Various operating patterns made public over the past 5 years have quoted capacities ranging from 15TPH each way to 18TPH each way.

3. What is the envisioned timeframe for upgrading the City Rail Link to a capacity of 24TPH each way? Proposed operating patterns made public in 2017 suggested this upgrade would happen in the mid-2040s.

4. The current rail capacity out of the Britomart Eastern Approach is 20TPH each way – will this still apply once the City Rail Link is opened and in operation? Or will it be reduced to the same 15-18TPH capacity as the Britomart-Mt Eden section of the CRL?

5. What is the envisioned timeframe for reconfiguring Britomart Station from 5 platforms to 4 platforms, as part of the C7/C9 contract?

6. What are the currently envisioned train operating plans/service patterns for the post-CRL network?

Thank you for considering my requests,

Yours faithfully,

Matt Beardsworth

On 18/03/2022 you contacted Auckland Transport (AT) requesting information
relating to the City Rail Link.  We believe this LGOIMA aligns more
closely with the functions of Auckland Council and transferred it to them.

 

Should you believe that we have not dealt with your request appropriately,
you are able to make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman in
accordance with section 27(3) of the LGOIMA Act and seek an investigation
and review in regard to this matter.

You can contact the Ombudsman at [1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
