A couple weeks ago Transport minister, Phil Twyford announced a new train between Auckland and Christchurch, which will start in August. With 4 services each day, 2 to Auckland to 2 to Hamilton, it will be able to get 300 people to and from each day. This system will eventually work along with the rapid rail if it is successful, linking the two cities. James starts off by asking Phil how long this project has been in the making. At the end James also covers what precautions Auckland Transport is taking surrounding public transport and Covid-19.
