Melling line might disappear..
Hutt City mayor Campbell Barry is asking for an urgent meeting with Transport Minister Simeon Brown over the future of the Melling train line.
The Melling Line is facing an uncertain future after funding for a key piece of infrastructure was not included in the $32.9 billion National Land Transport Programme, which included $3.2b for Wellington ‒ a pedestrian bridge over Te Awa Kairangi/Hutt River.
The pedestrian bridge has always been a core part of RiverLink, which includes the Melling interchange. To build the interchange on State Highway 2, the Melling Station has to be relocated south.
