    Funding for rail upgrades in the lower North Island is being welcomed

    Funding for rail upgrades in the lower North Island is being welcomed

    25 July 2024
    The Government's putting 802-million dollars towards new trains - to come in around 2028.

    However, trains may not be hybrid as agencies look at cost-efficiencies.

    The funding's also going towards doubling services during peak hours.

    Manawatu-Whanganui Regional Council chair Rachel Keedwell says this will benefit commuters, to travel between and within the regions.
