It turns out that the only *specific* works that AT mentions in its 15/12 media release justifying the network-wide shutdown are all happening at Henderson station, 3 from the end of the Western line, almost as far as you can get from CRL. Hardly grounds for closing the network for a month.

Like the apocryphal health administrators in ‘Yes Minister’ who thought the hospitals run so much better without patients, Auckland Transport thinks the city’s entire rail network runs most efficiently if it’s without trains for a month.
The *entire* network.

“Don’t ask me impertinent questions about whether the far right, known for their history of anti-semitism, are rallying in Australia. I’m far too busy doing important things, like explaining to this conference why watermelons are a covert anti-semitic symbol. I kid you not! Look at my slide!"

Shocked to hear there were no emergency brakes on the funicular.
