Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · May 27, 2024 · 3m

A public transport advocate believes we're paying the price for a lack of investment in trains.

Only 22.5% of Wairarapa trains arrived within five minutes of being on schedule in April.

It's a slight improvement from February, which had only around 5% of trains within target.

Jon Reeves from the Public Transport Users Association told Mike Hosking that there's a lot to catch up on.

He says new trains are coming in 2028 and there are issues with tracks and tunnels, impacting both passengers and freight.
