Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

The cafe is owned by contracting giant J Swap and located in their Matamata workshop. Originally it was set up just for employees about six years ago, but once word got out around town about the stellar food they switched to the commercial operation.
