The Southerner passenger train will be resurrected if The Opportunities Party (TOP) wins a seat at the general election, its leader says.

TOP’s transport policy, released on Wednesday, pledges support for a five year trial of The Southerner, the passenger rail service between Christchurch and Invercargill which ended in 2002.

TOP leader and Ilam candidate Raf Manji said the trial would operate between Christchurch and Dunedin, stopping in towns like Timaru and Ashburton along the way.

Depending on demand, it could operate five to seven days a week and do two or three return journeys a day. TOP has estimated the cost at $100 million, based on the costings of the Hamilton to Auckland train service, Te Huia.

Hello

A few large items I don’t need and thought maybe someone else would like them or knows someone or somewhere who would. Unfortunately I have no vehicle to transport anything but I am available to help lift if need be.

Fridge/freezer, standard size, works well, though the freezer iced up after a couple of months if it was too full.

Metal futon/fold down couch/sofa bed, but it doesn’t have any mattress or cushion on it - it is the metal frame ONLY

Message if interested thank you, pick up only :) Papanui between mall and holiday park
