Gwyneth will share the vision for this corridor, which is owned by KiwiRail, as established by the joint KiwiRail-Auckland Transport 2023 Auckland Rail Programme Business Case. She will also discuss what it could mean for both connectivity and reliability of the rail network in Auckland, as well as efficiency gains for the national rail freight network. Gwyneth will share KiwiRail’s current plans for progression of planning for this corridor amidst challenging economic and funding conditions, including reconsideration of how this cross-isthmus rail corridor might be used to create wider benefits for Auckland and how this could appeal to a broad set of potential investors.
