Trains to roll again on Napier-Wairoa line

From Morning Report, 8:56 am on 6 June 2018

After six years of silence, the rail tracks between Napier and Wairoa will be humming again today with the sound of trains. The line was mothballed in 2012 after it was badly damaged in a storm but a $5 million boost from the government's regional development fund in February has brought it back to running order. KiwiRail's chief executive Peter Reidy talks to Susie Ferguson.
