East-West Line: train delays, cancellations and punctuality

How the trains on Auckland's East-West Line (Swanson ↔ Manukau) actually ran: how many left late, how many left early, how many were cancelled or stopped short, how long the gaps between them were and how long the trip really took. Measured at every station on the line, day after day.

How long rides took compared with the timetable, and where time was lost.

A trip counts if it's no more than 5 minutes slower than planned. Arriving early never counts against it.

Punctuality can't see this. A train that leaves late but keeps pace costs you no time on the way. One that leaves on time and crawls does.

We time the full run, end to end.

How long the trip takes, stop by stop

Times on the left are into the trip; times in a gap are that hop.
