The Green Party has launched a petition calling on the Minister for Rail to reinstate passenger rail services across the country, and extend Te Huia rail Auckland to Hamilton service to Tauranga.
“We already have a rail network stretching across the motu – it’s time to use it properly and bring back passenger rail.
“We’re launching this petition … because people want passenger rail reconnected to Hamilton.
“Our petition also calls for passenger rail between Auckland and Wellington to be reinstated, and for the Southerner connection between Christchurch and Dunedin to be brought back on a regular basis.”
