IT’S A LINK, NOT A LOOP! The biggest myth about City Rail Link is that it’s just an inner-city “loop”. It’s not. Think of it like the Waterview Tunnel, joining up motorways, except the City Rail Link joins with other lines on the rail network. For example, a Western Line train entering Britomart will leave as an Onehunga Line service and vice versa – covering a large stretch of the city’s rail network. By enabling trains to travel in both directions through Britomart, adding new stations and joining the new underground line to the existing Western Line at Mt Eden, City Rail Link will revolutionise the way you get to your destination. Once the City Rail Link is in place, the entire Auckland rail network will operate more efficiently, allowing more trains to run more often. It will also enable a new service to run between west and south Auckland that avoids the city centre altogether.
