A person has died after being hit by a passenger train in Kapiti, Wellington this morning.
Emergency services were at the scene near MacKay's Crossing at Whareroa Road, Paekākāriki just before 10am.
Metlink hopes to resume trains between Paekākāriki and Waikanae after 7pm this evening - after buses were earlier used for commuters.
