A review that could determine the future of Te Huia train service is nearly complete, and some promising data is emerging.
The review of the Hamilton-Auckland train will influence whether New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotah keeps funding the trial beyond the middle of the year – but it won’t be ready for this Friday’s multi-agency Future Proof public transport sub-committee hui, as initially indicated.
Transport Minister Simeon Brown – who canned the Auckland light rail project last month – has said he expected the review to go to Waka Kotahi this month and he would then make decisions on the service’s future.
