Is the new Northland rail line a worthwhile investment?

Reporter Whangārei Leader

Hi neighbours - a $95 million investment in a 181km rail line between Whangārei and Swanson will stop the north Auckland Line from having to close in the near future.

KiwiRail Group Chief Executive Greg Miller says line improvements "would give more certainty for our customers and will make rail an option for Northland businesses and exporters to get their goods to market".

Is this a worthwhile investment? Do you think Northland businesses will benefit from this?
