The New Zealand government has announced an $800 million upgrade for lower North Island commuter rail to improve services for passengers travelling around the region. The funding will be used to purchase new rolling stock, upgrade existing infrastructure, double peak-time passenger services, and reduce train travel time between Wellington and Masterton by 15 minutes. The upgrades will also increase speeds on the Wairarapa line from 90 km/h to 110 km/h, providing more reliable and efficient public transport options.
