Save Our Trains: Your help needed to reach our destination!
Insane that KiwiRail should be cutting long distance passenger services, when govt should be rebuilding the whole national rail network, to reduce transport emissions. Hope you’ll get on board this campaign. Petition at our.actionstation.org.nz..., or see www.allrailways.co.nz....
Campaign instigator Patrick Rooney says: I believe we have a real chance to bring back withdrawn passenger services, but we need to show there is public support. And we have limited time to do it.
Passenger rail has an important place in our future but requires investment and planning for the future. Here are some reasons why:
• Rail provides a more sustainable and climate friendly method of transport across the country.
• Rail can invigorate the social and economic life of small communities by making them accessible to remote workers and tourists.
• Trains can bring our diverse country together by connecting them to people and landscapes across wide distances.
• Trains provide an accessible method of point-to-point transport for the elderly, disabled people, and people without cars.
• With the right Government support trains can provide affordable transport for people on low-income.
• Less cars on the roads can help to make our roads safer.
