Dear Laura Ratuva,

Really sorry haven’t done this in awhile. Are the following better?

1. Could I please have any relevant business cases, maps,
station layouts or diagrams of the Third Main aka Track between Westfield and Quay Park after 2015.

2. Could I please have any relevant business cases, maps,
station layouts or diagrams of the Fourth Main aka Track between Westfield and Papakura after 2015.

Basically in short I’m mainly interested in how the extra track(s) are planned to work on a map and especially how they work especially Middlemore Railway Station.

Yours sincerely,

Harriet Gale

Thanks for providing some clarity Harriett.

If your interest is around the construction of third and four tracks along the Southern Corridor, the most recent business case that provides information on initial concepts is the Auckland Rail Programme Business Case (December 2023).
The business case has been made publicly available here: https://www.kiwirail.co.nz/assets/Upload...
https://www.kiwirail.co.nz/our-network/o...

To go back 10 years to 2015 would still be a lot of work for our engineering/track teams. Once you've looked through the document above, let me know if you have some specific questions and I can see what information we have.

Ngā mihi

Dear Laura Ratuva,

Sorry for being difficult those documents will be useful.

I guess what I really want without being to difficult is I’m not sure about the wording but like a diagram or maybe map where everything goes like for the Middlemore upgrade picture here https://www.kiwirail.co.nz/our-network/o...

1. My curiosity is basically where the third main goes and where the fourth main goes especially at Middlemore Railway Station.

Again sorry for being difficult.

Yours sincerely,

Harriet Gale
