What do you think of Te Huia train service?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A review that could determine the future of Te Huia train service is nearly complete, and some promising data is emerging.

The review of the Hamilton-Auckland train will influence whether Waka Kotahi keeps funding the trial beyond the middle of the year - but it won’t be ready for this Friday’s multi-agency Future Proof public transport sub-committee hui, as initially indicated.

Instead, the New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi board will see it first, and a date for that isn’t yet confirmed.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

One frustrated councillor walked out of a meeting before regional councillors set rates, and another didn’t vote in “protest”.

Regional councillors have agreed by a thin 7 for and 5 against margin to put forward a 2024-34 long term plan for adoption, exposing particular divisions over the higher-than-suggested rates rise for next year: 7.4%.
