Hon MICHAEL WOOD: The $1.3 billion investment is about getting the bread and butter stuff done to lift our rail network to a resilient and reliable state after years of managed decline. It includes fully replacing 20 bridges around the country and improving around 25 more; replacing more than 200 kilometres of rail sleepers and more than 130 kilometres of tracks; adding active controls, like barrier arms, lights, and bells to three level crossings; upgrading the Auckland metro network; and, importantly, investing in a business case for further network improvements across Wellington, including looking at potentially expanding commuter services to the north of Waikanae.
