From the engineering feats of the tunnel boring machine Dame Whina Cooper and the complex new underground stations at Te Waihorotiu and Karanga-a-Hape, to the untold logistical challenges of getting the network ready for Day One, discover what it truly took to reshape Auckland’s rail network for generations to come.
