The NZ Transport Agency Board has approved a business case for the next steps in a start-up trial Hamilton to Auckland passenger rail service, to begin March 2020.

“We know more and more people are commuting between Hamilton and Auckland, and introducing this trial service will give them a choice in how they do that,” Minister Phil Twyford said.

The business case allows for the fit-out of rolling stock and the detailed design of infrastructure. The total cost of the five year trial, including the service operated by KiwiRail, is estimated at $78.2 million, including $68.4 million from the NZ Transport Agency and $9.8 million from local authorities.

It would stop in Hamilton at Frankton and The Base in Rotokauri before going onto Huntly and finally stopping in Papakura in Auckland, where passengers can change onto the Auckland Public Transport Network. Future stops may include, Te Kauwhata, Pokeno and Tuakau.

A new station including a platform and Park & Ride parking area will be created as part of the Rotokauri rail stop and the Huntly platform will need to be upgraded.

Well done all those who worked hard to make this happen.

Hi

I’m wondering if there is someone who would be kind enough to help my daughter and I out please. In my garage I have a double bed base and a very delicate unit which we need to transport from my property to hers. Her partner has lost his licence, she is on her learners and none of their friends are prepared to help them out.

She has asked on Facebook on Pay it Forward, gift it forward, but people are telling what to do and not offering any help. If someone could help out I would appreciate an awful lot.

Thanks
