Dunedin is pushing for a suburban rail service and an inland port as part of a Government review of rail for the next decade.

The report is expected to include options for using mothballed infrastructure after it was announced operation of the Taieri Gorge Railway, a popular tourist venture, would be suspended.

The preferred site for an inland port is at Milburn, in South Otago, which could be used to freight more export-ready items via rail.

The Dunedin City Council is also supportive of launching commuter rail between Mosgiel and the Dunedin Railway Station, which is owned by the council.

i'll try again next time when they are in need of a prune.

Go After Your Big Dreams
