Poll: Do you think Taumarunui needs some new rail opportunities?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The spirits of Taumarunui’s rail carriage graveyard have been exorcised after KiwiRail removed the disused and damaged units from rail yards in the King Country town.

The move has reignited calls from the Ruapehu District Council to resurrect Taumarunui’s link to the country’s main trunk line, which have been backed by management at the town’s newly built $90 million pet food factory.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
