Better Transport Advocate: New Te Huia Hamilton Auckland Train 'A Poor Option' - Simon Barnett & James Daniels Afternoons

People in Huntly will soon be able to commute to Auckland by train.
Te Huia passenger rail service opens to the public just after Easter.
It travels from Frankton in Hamilton to Papakura, stopping in Huntly along the way.
It could potentially replace up to 73 thousand return car trips annually.
There has however been some criticism of the fact that it will take longer in the train than in a car.
Jodi Johnston from the Campaign for Better Transport joined Simon Barnett & Phil Gifford on the show.
