Hon MICHAEL WOOD: Our Government is investing around $600 million in Wellington's regional rail network, which is supporting the region's economic recovery. It will make rail an even better option for Wellingtonians. Upgrades to the Wairarapa line, Plimmerton station, and the Capital Connection are all coming down the track. I want to specifically highlight the work on the Wairarapa line, which might have had to close without these investments. That was unacceptable to our Government. We're contributing to revitalising rail after years of managed decline, and it's very important because rail contributes over $2.1 billion of value to our economy every year.
