Railway stations in Pōkeno and Te Kauwhata are on the cards as the Waikato Regional Council seeks feedback on a bold plan to transform the public transport network across the region. The railway stations would allow people to access the Te Huia train services to transit into Auckland.
The proposal is part of the Waikato Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP) which also suggests setting up new bus connections in rural areas like South Waikato, which currently don’t have any public transport options.
The council is now seeking feedback from the community on this draft that sets out a plan for the next 30 years.
