I've used the southern train into work in Newmarket a few times, but have found most days it's cheaper taking my electric Leaf, so do that.

Traffic on the southern motorway yesterday was the definition of horrific (2 hrs to Takanini) and I realized I could bike home in that time. The plan is to train in the morning and bike home in the afternoon (down Gt Sth Rd almost the whole way according to Google Maps).

Has anyone had personal experience taking a bike on an Auckland train, especially during peak hours? Ive looked up the AT website and it says ok, subject to space...

I've never seen the train so packed we couldn't fit a bike.

In Wellington the trains do get pretty packed on some peak trains, but they allocate some services for bikes and others where bikes aren't allowed.
