Commuter trains should run between Rangiora and Rolleston, an Environment Canterbury councillor has again proposed.
Cr Joe Davies told Christchurch city councillors on Wednesday that “heavy rail” trains should run on the existing KiwiRail tracks between the two regional centres, with perhaps 13 stops in Christchurch.
Heavy rail would be “a great thing for the city and subregion”, Davies said. It would be “good for our economy, our connectivity and our environment. But it will cost money”.
