Wild weather is wrecking havoc around Wellington tonight with one slip closing State Highway 1 in the middle of peak hour traffic and another derailing a train.

A tree had come down causing the slip at Pukerua Bay, 35km northeast of Wellington, about 5.30pm, Inspector Mike Coleman, of Central police communications, said.

The nearest alternate route, Paekakariki hill road, was also closed about 6.30pm due to a large amount of gravel washed onto the road. Rimutaka Hill road had also been closed about 8pm, police said.

A slip derailed a train enroute from Wellington to Masterton as it left a tunnel at Maymorn north of Upper Hutt, about 6.15pm.

That must be about every exit.

I rode up from ferry to Fielding today & what a wild ride. It was hard to see where is was going, the riding gear leaked & I quickly become a sponge. All part of the MMMMM adventure.....
