A sad fact about NZ Rail is it's simply not being used enough. If we're not careful then the NZ govt (people) owned railways is going to shut down a lot of track and that would be absolutely criminal. We as NZer's need to do something about it.....Rant over...
We use it where it makes sense. Sometimes it makes sense to use it, sometimes not. If it was truly more efficient than say trucks, we'd use it more. The government has to prop rail up by 90 million each year as it as, which is absolutely criminal and needs to stop. That is 90 million which could be spent on health care, or education etc. The Aussies must be laughing their heads off at Labour buying NZR back. Someone should be hung for that buyback!
I love the track condition...
