First train goes around full length of Auckland's CRL

The almost three and a half kilometre long inaugural journey was made at a crawl; about five kilometres an hour overnight, meaning the loop took two and half hours in total while various underground checks were completed. The train ran south from Waitemata Station at Britomart under central Auckland past the new underground stations at Te Waihorotiu and Karanga-a-Hape to Maungawhau Station on the Western/North Auckland Line. Wayne Cooney, the Systems Director for the CRL spoke to Lisa Owen.
