The Transport Minister says KiwiRail will be held accountable for any delays in fixing Auckland's rail network.
The rail operator's being given $200 million in government funding to carry out the repairs – needed before the City Rail Link opens.
There'll be 96 days of full network closures and 24 days of partial - from Christmas to January 2026.
Simeon Brown told Heather du Plessis-Allan KiwiRail's committed strongly to that, and there's no room for delays.
“In terms of the timing, there is no more time other than what’s been provided.”
