Rail Network Rebuild (RNR) (March 2023)

RNR is an essential upgrade of Auckland’s rail network. When this work is finished and the City Rail Link is open, Auckland will have more frequent trains and faster journeys. 

RNR Stage 2 is from 20 March 2023 until January 2024  

• Sylvia Park, Panmure, Glen Innes, Meadowbank and Ōrākei stations will be closed 
• Eastern Line trains will run between Manukau and Britomart at peak times using the Southern Line (via Newmarket). At off-peak times trains will run between Manukau and Ōtāhuhu only  
• Onehunga Line trains will run between Onehunga and Penrose only at peak times. At off-peak times trains will run between Onehunga and Britomart. 

Please click here to open a flyer confirming the trains line and stations that will be closed for Stage 2. 

What does this mean for students?

Glendowie College’s nearest station, Glen Innes Station, will be closed for Stage 2. 

Students who currently use the stations and trains impacted by RNR Stage 2 will need to temporarily change the way they get to school. 

Rail Replacement Buses and regularly scheduled public bus services will be provided. Buses can be slower than trains, so students may need to allow more time for their journey.

From 12 March students can use AT’s Journey Planner www.AT.govt.nz/JourneyPlanner and AT Mobile app to plan their travel using the new Rail Replacement Buses.

Many Glendowie College students travel to and from school by bus.  As well as public buses that go past the college, the school also operates its own bus routes for students.

AT HOP is a reusable prepay smart card for travel on trains, ferries and buses around Auckland.  Paying for your child's school travel with an AT HOP card is cheaper than paying with cash.  Parents can save even further by loading the correct concession on their child's AT HOP card.  School students are eligible for discounted fares and these are at least 40% cheaper than adult AT HOP fares. Cards must be registered to a child, and students 16 - 19 years must also have a secondary student concession loaded on their AT HOP card for the discount/concession to apply, otherwise, their AT HOP card defaults to the more expensive adult fares.

Getting a secondary student discount for public transport has never been easier

Secondary school students, aged 16 to 19, can now jump online and activate their student discount using their National Student Number (NSN). And with a student discount organised, they’ll be able to travel and get 40% or more off full price bus, ferry and train fares.

Here is the link for where to find out more about this process, and to update your concession:
