Given this country’s abysmal track record on rail (pun not intended but I’ll claim it), I’ll believe this when I see it. But if they can make it a reality then it’d be awesome, a nod to the “show day” trains of the past pictured in the history books.
Trains have already come down from Auckland and arrived in chch I believe. Certainly a few more carriages left at welly waiting to head down. Not sure how they do that now we don’t have rail enabled ferries…
