Newmarket Train Station: delays, cancellations and waits

How the trains at Newmarket on Auckland's Onehunga-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.

Newmarket is served by two of Auckland's rail lines (the Onehunga-West and the South City), so trains calling here are counted separately for each. It is stop 7 of 19 on the Onehunga ↔ Henderson run, between Remuera and Grafton. 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 rides from here to the line's other hubs actually took.

How often trains left this station on time.

On time means leaving no more than 5 minutes after the timetable, and never before it. At the last stop, we go by the arrival.

Why every stop? Timetables build in spare time near the end of a line. On a long line a train can run late through the middle, make it up over the last few stations and still finish on time. Checking only the end of the line would call that a good trip, but most people don't ride the whole way. If you got on or off in the middle, your train was late. Checking every stop shows where it actually was.
