Wairarapa’s regional councillor has likened issues on the Wairarapa Line to British sitcom Fawlty Towers.
The Wairarapa Line had been plagued with reliability and punctuality issues due to insufficient staffing and maintenance work, but commuters have been told there was hope on the horizon.
It comes as a satisfaction survey showed less than 60% of commuters were satisfied with the Wairarapa Line.
Staffing on the Wairarapa Line was now meeting the required levels for service and four train managers were currently progressing through training.
