With Homegrown set to come to Hamilton next year, Auckland punters may be able to catch the train to and from the festival if a Te Huia Sunday service trial goes ahead.
Homegrown music festival co-director Andrew Tuck said a rail service between Hamilton and Auckland on a Sunday would be “great” for the event.
“We would fully support it. I think it makes massive sense if you’ve driven to Auckland recently. “Auckland traffic is diabolical.”
Waikato Regional Council is pushing for a 12-month Sunday service trial running from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, the last year of the Te Huia five-year trial period.
