Trainline from Hamilton to Auckland is on the cards..
"The target is to have a train service ready by October 2019. In that timeframe we would be looking to complete the design, develop, and build it." says Hamilton City Council general manager of development, Chris Allen. The only functioning railway station currently in Hamilton is Frankton.
"We've got a proposal to stop at Rotokauri, Taupiri, Huntly and up through Papakura and into the Auckland network."
The development of the public transport site is estimated to cost about $3.5 million. The Hamilton-Auckland rail service proposal was first considered and rejected in 2011.
Now, the decision is left with NZTA which chooses where to dedicate the cash. The business case will be put to the NZTA on October 5 for funding approval.
