    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.

    I also don't think that Chloe Swarbrick will be interested in advocating for the port to stay where it is either, so in some regards it would make sense for the Greens to take up this cause.

    I guess that is just a future vision for the port with no actual concrete steps toward making it happen? Exciting I guess if there was a plan to make the vision happen.

    Good news to show where North Port is heading.

    If only the railway line could get the containers to Auckland...

    Another piece of the jigsaw....if only this had been in place a few weeks ago. Some snippets from the Northern Advocate article, sorry...can't find a link to the complete article.

    "Tunnels lowered as part of rail upgrade
    The Auckland to Whangarei rail line upgraded from the nearly $165 million of taxpayers money is scheduled to reopen in just under three weeks."

    "With lowered tunnels and new bridges, the North Auckland line will be more reliable and have the capacity to take hi-cube containers."

    "Currently 30,000 containers leave Northland each year by road and lowering tracks in the tunnels means many could be transported by rail."

    More container ships to come through Northport.
    Just need that rail connection to the port now.

    Well....I was just thinking that if they can't run the port successfully in Auckland, and its not returning a decent dividend to the owner ratepayers, then may as well accelerate transferring the business to Tauranga and NorthPort.
