One of my top priorities continues to be my focus on securing central government funding for the replacement trains for the Capital Connection.
Huge progress was made in the last four years with GWRC at last putting it in their Long Term Plan three years ago, and now there is the government funded business case to fine-tune the exact type of trains and includes government money allocated to manage an international procurement process to source the trains.
Added to that priority is some ongoing bus service frustration such as the bus stops in and around Coastlands and more services in Waikanae and Ōtaki.
For me these continue to be top of the list needing more investment to ensure our existing bus services are what current passengers need.
Of course parking is then the problem as more and more people are using our public transport options; it is the vexing and expensive problem for every part of our public transport network right across the Wellington region.
