Re the fate penalty. Have heard from folks at work that if you plead your case they reverse the penalty 

Kind regards, Jo Clendon

FW: Te Awa Kairangi Alliance - upcoming works

jeff lyall <jeff....@gmail.com>: Jan 13 03:20PM +1300 Oh dear. It feels like every day it just gets harder for me to get to work and back ! Got a big shock when I jumped on the Melling line on my first day back at work to get off at Western Hutt (forgetting to tag off and being charged triple the fare) and finding that I had to ride through the CBD. Will see if they can stymie an approach from the Taita end !   It was pretty good for a while, probably a year ago, as someone who commutes from Welly, with bike and or train/bike combos ! Thank you to all you folks who are putting in the hard work for us !   Cheers Jeff     -- ======================== Jeff Lyall 04 5704 737 (bus) 04 5650 153 (pri) 0274 377 860 cell http://jeffsbike.blogspot.com ========================

Elaine Richardson <richard....@gmail.com>: Jan 14 11:45AM +1300 Hi Jeff - time to move back to Belmont😂. Not that we are without our own Riverlink issues!!   I've been thinking about your problem. You could take the Upper Hutt train to Waterloo station (seems bikes are allowed going N). Same cost as to Melling. The Beltway cycle path (very nice along Oxford Terrace) will take you to Naenae. Go up Walter Street (past Naenae Intermediate) - they have recently made a nice cycle path up there which takes you on the footpath up to High Street and then in front of Naenae College). There's even a marked bike crossing on High Street. Wiggle through a few streets and you'll come to Avalon Park. We're using that way a lot now as Lower Hutt has completely lost its appeal!!   After Waterloo all stations cost more, but another option would be to get off at Naenae and then use route above. Good luck

jeff lyall <jeff....@gmail.com>: Jan 14 12:46PM +1300 Yes I have gotten off at Taita before I think Elaine. I am thinking I might just work more at NIWA at Greta Point instead !   On Wed, 14 Jan 2026 at 11:45, Elaine Richardson <richard....@gmail.com> wrote:

Yeah, I ended up with 2 penalties, because I tried to tag off at about 3:45 pm ! They reimbursed me that one, but not the first. I will ring them and ask what the period of time is that you could tag off in. I am sure its not very sophisticated if they are charging me 15$ on a line that cant be longer than 5 $ ! No smarts in a system like that.

I think if you explain that it is all due to the changes to the Melling line that got you confused they should be lenient
