Wairarapa rail Line woes are shaking up passengers long after tracks were supposed to be fixed.
Just when they thought there was light at the end of the tunnel after years of delays due to poor infrastructure and maintenance, compatibility problems between carriage wheels and the new tracks were making for a bumpy ride.
Train user Vince Dravitzki, of Carterton, described the carriages as “shaking quite alarmingly” on sections of the new track.
“The term vibrating is rather an understatement.
“If it was the old days of us sitting with our railways cuppa, the top third would be sloshed out of the cup. Trying to use a touch screen device is diabolical.”
Dravitski said Metlink told passengers that the problems could result in up to 40 minute delays between Masterton and Wellington.
