City Rail Link (CRL) – the largest transport infrastructure project ever to be undertaken in New Zealand – will help Auckland cater for the demands of this growth.

The 3.45km twin-tunnel underground rail link will unlock our public transport network and transform the way we travel around our city.

CRL/Undergroun

When CRL opens in 2024, Aucklanders will have new world-class stations and a modern rail service that benefits the entire transport network for decades to come.

Britomart Station will no longer be a dead-end station.

Instead it will become a two-way through station – doubling the capacity of the entire rail network to carry up to 54,000 passengers an hour at peak times.

New/Redeveloped CRL Stations

Existing Stations

New architecturally-designed stations with underground platforms will be built under Albert Street (entrances on Victoria and Wellesley Streets) and Karangahape Road (entrances Mercury Lane and Beresford Square) – providing new transport connections.

CRL will connect with the Western Line at a redeveloped Mt Eden Station – less than 10 minutes from downtown Auckland – opening up the entire rail network.

It’s a link, not a loop!

The biggest myth about CRL is that it’s just an inner-city “loop”.

It’s not.

Think of it like the Waterview Tunnel, joining up motorways, except the CRL 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.

nt

ra

nc

e

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, CRL will revolutionise the way you get to your destination.

te

Once the CRL is in place, the entire Auckland rail network will operate more efficiently, allowing more trains to run more often.

tr

ee

It will also enable a new service to run between west and south Auckland that avoids the city centre altogether.
