There's a long list of reasons why a passenger rail network wouldn't work in Aotearoa. Here's why they're all rubbish. Restore Passenger Rail protests around New Zealand in recent weeks have received a lot of news coverage and caused a fair bit of frustration. As public transport activism goes, I'm no abseiler or supergluer. I'm involved with Save Our Trains – we do things like write petitions and submissions, and profile long-lost railway stations. I had feared Restore Passenger Rail might bring our call to expand passenger rail into disrepute, but I probably needn't have worried.
