The New Southerner passenger train at the newly renovated Mataura Railway Station…… Thanks to the Minister for Rail and the grant to do up the old station, this could be a real picture in 2-3 years time!

Minister of Rail strongly backs Te Huia - the Hamilton to Auckland passenger rail service, which fought back against the visionless naysayers and beancounters, with increasing patronage, expanding services, and top passenger satisfaction. waikatotimes.co.nz/nz-news/360758…

TREASURY FERRIES ‘ADVICE’ BLINKERED, AND ON AUTOPILOT….. Peters has got exactly the right view of Treasury’s efforts to scupper the rail ferries! “They were…on autopilot, believing the govt would agree to end 60 yrs of interisland rail connection.” rnz.co.nz/news/political…

Help get the SOUTHERNER TRAIN back! Sign the petition (click this link: our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/rest…). Running both directions from Christchurch-Dunedin-Invercargill, and towns in between. Public passenger trains are an affordable, safer and more comfortable option for many people.
