ORC submission response

Hello on this rainy night

The Otago Regional Council's response to our submission for a feasibility study on commuter rail in Dunedin is:

No they won't do a feasibility study because it is Central Government that look after rail infrastructure.

We are looking at approaching Central Government and thinking of having a meeting about this in September, if you have any thoughts about the next step or are keen to come to the meeting please be in touch.

Regards,

Kaia

300 People Take A Return Trip To Waitati From Dunedin
by timj

Another indication that city residents find trains to be a popular form of travel was made today, as almost 300 people took a return trip to Waitati from Dunedin.

While commuters north of Dunedin have shown interest in reinstating a morning and evening commuters train, it appears the Regional Council are not as keen.
