Auckland One Rail (AOR) is a train operator that commenced operating services under contract to Auckland Transport in January 2022. They are the operator of the trains in the Auckland suburban rail network. The Conglomerate is a 50/50 joint venture owned by Singapore-based ComfortDelGro and Australian-based UGL Rail. The operation is the first overseas heavy rail venture by a Singapore company, as well as ComfortDelGro's first in New Zealand. Officers of the business are Martin Kearney (CEO) and Gavin Panter (COO).[1]

History

[edit]

On 27 August 2021, Auckland One Rail was awarded an eight-year contract by Auckland Transport to operate the Auckland suburban rail network, beating a consortium of Transdev, John Holland and CAF.[2] It took over from Transdev Auckland on 16 January 2022.[3][4][5] The contract is worth around NZD$130 milion per year over an initial eight year term, and the venture will take over responsibility for train maintenance from 2025.[6]
