Wellington has the second highest patronage per capita of public transport in Australasia – second only to Sydney. This has resulted in the introduction a new performance- GWRC is committed to building on Wellingtons strong public based rail contract that encourages service delivery that is transport patronage – with a targeted 15% increase by efficient, on time, and which meets customer needs. Being 2025 – and I am pleased to report that 2015/16 has seen the able to periodically tender high value contracts, such as the continued uptake in public transport, with over 36.4million rail operations, is an important way of ensuring that the passenger trips taken across the network, nearly 13million of regional council is obtaining the best value for money for its these were on rail, an increase of 6% on 2014/15. investment spend on behalf of ratepayers.

  • Wairarapa Train Services: Survey Results
    Wairarapa train services: survey results Introduction Greater Wellington Regional Council carried out a survey of passengers on the north-bound Wairarapa trains on 22 June 2011 as part of the Wairarapa Public Transport Service Review. A total of 725 completed forms were returned. We would like to thank passengers and train-staff for your help with this survey. A summary of the results are shown below. The full survey report is available at www.gw.govt.nz/wairarapareview Where people live and how they get to the station About 25% of passengers live in each of Masterton, Carterton or Featherston. A further 13% of passengers live in Greytown and 6% in Martinborough. Sixty-eight percent of passengers travel to the station by car (57% parking their car at the station and 11% being dropped off). A further 23% of passengers walk or cycle to the station and 7% use the bus. Origin and destination The main boarding station in Wairarapa is Featherston (33%), followed by Masterton (28%), Carterton (25%) and Woodside (12%). Most passengers (85%) are going to Wellington, with the rest (15%) going to the Hutt Valley. Why people use the train, and purpose and frequency of travel The main reason people said they use the train is because it is cheaper than taking the car (56% of passengers) and a significant number also said it is quicker than driving (29% of passengers). Comfort (45% of passengers) and ability to work on the train (47% of passengers) were also important. Twenty-six percent of passengers also indicated that it’s environmentally responsible and 20% said they had no other transport option.

  • Wellington Network Upgrade
    WELLINGTON NETWORK UPGRADE Better rail services for the region. Around 500,000 Wellingtonians and visitors take over 14 million passenger journeys each year on our Metro Rail Network. KiwiRail, Greater Wellington Regional Council and Metlink are working together to modernise the rail, thanks to investment of almost $300 million from the Government to enable: Train services to be more reliable. More people and freight travelling on rail in the future. The Wellington Metro Upgrade Programme is being delivered on a busy, well-maintained but ageing network where trains run 18 hours a day. The focus of our work is: Renewing existing network infrastructure to improve rail services. Renewing traction power overhead line system and signals power supply, and improving the track across the network including inside the four major tunnels. Adding capacity to the network so more people can travel on trains in the future while still allowing for freight services. This includes: Double tracking between Trentham and Upper Hutt. Improvements to Wellington station approaches. Changes at Plimmerton. More information www.kiwirail.co.nz (Wellington Metro Upgrade) HUTT LINE DOUBLE TRACKING More frequent, reliable trains. The 2.7 kilometres of rail line between Trentham and Upper Hutt is being double tracked so trains can travel in both directions at the same time. This will allow more frequent and reliable services along this section of the busy line from Wellington to Upper Hutt and Wairarapa. Stations are being upgraded and we are making it safer around our tracks.

  • Attachment 1 Wellington Regional Rail Strategic Direction 2020.Pdf
    WELLINGTON REGIONAL RAIL STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2020 Where we’ve come from Rail has been a key component of the Wellington Region’s transport network for more than 150 years. The first rail line was built in the 1870s between Wellington and Wairarapa. What is now known as the North Island Main Trunk followed in the 1880s, providing a more direct route to Manawatū and the north. Two branch lines were later added. The region has grown around the rail network, as villages have turned into towns and cities. Much of it was actively built around rail as transit-oriented development. Rail has become an increasingly important way for people to move about, particularly to Wellington’s CBD, and services and infrastructure have been continuously expanded and improved to serve an ever-growing population. The region is a leader in per capita use of public transport.

  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2010: Settled and Warm Annual Mean Sea Level Pressures Were Above Average Over the New Zealand Region in 2010
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2011 New Zealand national climate summary 2010: Settled and warm Annual mean sea level pressures were above average over the New Zealand region in 2010. The increased prevalence of anticyclones (‘highs’) near New Zealand produced a relatively settled climate for the year overall, with average or above average annual temperatures in all regions, normal or above normal sunshine hours in most districts, and drought at either end of the year. The large-scale climate setting changed from a moderate El Niño at the start of the year, to a La Niña by July. The La Niña climate pattern intensified to moderate-to-strong by September, and prevailed through the end of 2010. The Southern Annular Mode (SAM), a climate pattern affecting the westerly wind strength and location over and to the south of the country, was strongly positive overall in 2010. This contributed to the prevalence of anticyclones experienced near New Zealand. Mean annual temperatures were above average (between 0.5°C and 1.2°C above the long-term average) in the northeast of the North Island, and in Nelson, Marlborough, parts of Canterbury, Fiordland and parts of Westland, the southern Lakes District and central Otago. Mean annual temperatures were near average elsewhere (within 0.5°C of the long-term average). The national average temperature for 2010 based on a 7-station series was 13.1 °C, 0.5 °C above the 1971–2000 annual average. 2010 was the 5th warmest year since 1900, based on this 7-station series. The four warmer years were 1971 (+0.6 °C), 1998 (+0.9 °C), 1999 (+0.8 °C), and 2005 (+0.6 °C).

  • Evaluation of Occupational Noise Exposure Levels on the Wellington Suburban Tranz Metro Rail Service
    Evaluation of occupational noise exposure levels on the Wellington Suburban Tranz Metro Rail Service 1 Ka’isa Beech and 2 Stuart J McLaren 1 Advanced student at Massey University and Wellington Suburban On-board Staff Member, KiwiRail, Wellington 2 School of Public Health, Massey University, Wellington 2 Email: [email protected] Abstract An occupational noise evaluation study was carried out by Massey University students on locomotive engineers and on-board staff on the two main train sets operating on the Wellington Rail Suburban Network. All measurement results conducted as part of the study show full compliance with the criteria for workplace noise exposure prescribed within the Health and Safety in Employment Regulations 1995. The health and safety noise criterion level permits a maximum dose of 100% which is equivalent to 85 dB LAeq for a normalised 8 hour working day. The highest measured sound exposure was 13% of the total permitted exposure. All occupational noise measurements were observed and written accounts were taken by the three person investigation team. Observations revealed atypical behaviour of one participant which likely compromised one set of readings. This atypical result was removed from the analysis and therefore did not alter the study conclusions. Regardless, such observed behaviour from the study team, reinforces the value of observed real time field monitoring during collection of data. Original peer-reviewed student paper 1.
