There will be extra trains on all lines before and after the game, as well as a special Wairarapa train returning to Masterton after the match. Go Wellington shuttle buses will be operating from Courtenay Place.

The road adjacent to platform nine at Wellington Railway Station will be closed, to prevent vehicle access to the area.
