Mount Albert Train Station: delays, cancellations and waits

How the trains at Mount Albert on Auckland's East-West Line actually ran: how many left late, how many left early, how many never turned up at all, how long you really wait between them and how long the trip to the city takes. Recorded at this platform, day after day.

Mount Albert is served by two of Auckland's rail lines (the East-West and the Onehunga-West), so trains calling here are counted separately for each. It is stop 10 of 27 on the Swanson ↔ Manukau run, between Avondale and Baldwin Avenue. Four things are recorded at this platform and nowhere summarised on its behalf: how late departures were, how many booked trains never came, how long the gap between trains actually ran against the timetabled gap, and how long the ride between here and Karanga-a-Hape, 5 stops away, actually took.

The figure is the trip from here to Waitematā on the East-West Line. The times below cover every hub a train from this stop reaches without a change, on any of its lines.

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 ride from here to the city, and back.
