This is a rare sight to be seen nowadays, and it’s even harder to catch one of these elusive trains .
Most of the trains have been replaced daily by buses rendering the service unreliable and pretty much unusable .
Mid-afternoon services are bus replacement between Waikanae and Paekakariki and have been for months!
Night services out of Wellington are bus replacement between Wellington and Porirua !
To make public transport viable it must be convenient and reliable!

Oh didnt know that train replacement has grown and is more than just the weekend replacements. Why have these replacements been going on for years and years???????
But there again I have been on a train for years now and a bus in decades, I just pay for them all in my rates.
