Underated performer - all we heard was what was wrong and it became fashionable to bag rail. Unsupported by successive anti rail governments for 15 years at one stage owned by incompetent overseas interests. Rail suffered the same indiiference as housing and look where that has left us. Every other western country fully supports rail - NZ has fostered bloody trucks and cars in the never ending catch up game of providing more and more roads and spending exhorbant amounts off shore on increasing oil costs etc. No brainer but we may now have lost the battle and highlights the incompetence at times of many of our decision makers. Let's hope the Hamilton to Auckland rail service is successful but the initiative my be too late. Great shame.

I remember an NZ Rail ad in the 80s, for a bunch of Scottish people attending a wedding. I saw it on KZbin a while ago but can't find it again - sound familiar to anyone?

We'll they did show an electric train network in the advert... but it was a scale kids model. 'We're the NZ railways, and we put toys on the line'.

True that, and now it's even less than it was with the announcement of withdrawal of the electric services.

No doubt the best way to move stuff around the country. But like all govt departments, wrecked by incompetent morons & lazy thieving workers. Thats the truth.
