Poll: Do you like the idea of a Sunday Te Huia service?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Winston Peters has thrown his support behind Te Huia’s new Sunday service, signalling that interregional rail could become a political bargaining chip as the 2026 general election approaches.

The interregional service between Hamilton and Auckland was recently given the green light to operate seven days a week, with the new Sunday schedule set to launch on July 27.
