PASSENGER trains on the main north-south routes in New Zealand between Auckland and Wellington, plus from Picton to Christchurch, are threatened with permanent removal; operation has already been ‘paused’ by Kiwi Rail. A multi-day tour train for tourists would be offered instead but this will be of no use to domestic passengers or any tourist wishing to avoid driving or flying. A campaign to save the long distance rail service has been launched at www.allrailways.co.nz
