Extra capacity on Metlink train services and larger buses will be available for fans attending the Wellington Phoenix double header at Sky Stadium on Saturday, 8 November.
Match Schedule
- The Phoenix women kick off their season with a 4pm game against Canberra United.
- The Phoenix men’s derby against Auckland FC follows at 7pm.
Transport Services
Standard Saturday timetables will operate on all train lines. Additional services will run on the Hutt Valley and Johnsonville lines after the games. However, no extra trains will be available on the Kapiti line post-match.
