A proposed “gamechanger” Sunday service for Te Huia passenger train services would be part-funded by Auckland if Waikato Regional Council had its way.
There’s a little over a year left in the trial of the inter-regional rail service, meaning start-up funding from NZ Transport Agency is due to dry up mid-2026.
Waikato Regional Council has plans “to ensure Te Huia’s continued success and growth”, chairperson Pamela Storey says, hence asking Auckland Council to stump up with $223,000.
