NZ First promises trains almost no one uses

The Herald reports:

A $300 million cash swap from to railways is at the heart of First's transport policy for the election, including restoring the Gisborne- line, and looking at extending the Wellington line to Levin and into Wairarapa.

The Gisborne to Napier line had basically no passengers and freight volumes dropped 75% in the few years before it closed. This would be akin to puring money down the drain.
