My comment is about the Marsden Point rail spur and North Auckland Line upgrade part of the move.

The rout of the National Party removes the danger of it turning its "rubber wheels good, steel wheels bad" mantra into policy.

The defeat of Winston First means a cheerleader has been lost.

The Green party is a supporter of moving from road to rail.

Opening the spur and upgrading the line gives the Labour Party the chance to champion a successful transport infrastructure project. Given the debacle of the Twiford-tram to the airport project I think it would appeal to them.
