The passenger train between Hamilton and Auckland is increasing off-peak services.
Beginning today, Te Huia will have a third service on Thursdays and Fridays, where demand has been the highest.
There will also be a second return service on Saturdays.
Waikato Regional Councillor Angela Strange told Mike Hosking that she hears from Waikato people who are excited about the inter-regional service.
She says the extra services mean people can go up or down for a half day.
