Trains running longer distance services between Wellington and Masterton and Wellington and Palmerston North need refurbishments or replacements and patronage growth on these services has already exceeded the available capacity for both fleets, the council said.
Fifteen four-car Dual Mode Multiple Units would replace the current fleet and run on electricity from overhead power wires, switching to alternative energy sources north of Waikanae and Upper Hutt.
The earliest date for the first of the new trains being put into service is 2025.
What do you think? Just how crowded are the trains currently?

We’ve printed ours onto linen to wrap around pot plants, a simple yet thoughtful gift that friends and family will love.

Hi neighbours - A new expressway from Ōtaki to north of Levin would mean easier access into the area, and this could bring big business opportunities.

I had a White Holden Colorado Ute with Canopy GRG393 hit the back of my Car Red Hyundai i30 on Wednesday 31 July at 3.30pm.
The driver was not the owner and didn't have his wallet or drivers license with him, the contact details he gave me was Daniel Reardon 0220532976 (not Recognised by 2degrees) but could be 0220532996 but I could not get a understandable response form this number.
If anybody out there knows who the owner of the White colorado is please let me know.
Thanks
Richard
