It's another morning of slow going on the rail network in Wellington, with the region's train network operating at reduced speeds.

KiwiRail says the faulty equipment that is meant to be used four times a year to test the network and approve it for use was back in action overnight, testing the Kapiti Line.

It hopes the whole network will be back up to full speed by Thursday.

Greater Wellington Regional Council transport committee chair Thomas Nash spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.
