Bol Urban passenger rail patronage in Auckland and Wellington is now booming after many years of decline. Outside these two centres, however, the situation is quite different: intercity and regional passenger rail services are scarce, and no other city possesses suburban rail. Cant Get There from Here traces the expansion and the contraction of New Zealands passenger rail network over the last century. What is the historical context of todays imbalance between rail and road? How far and wide did the passenger rail network once run? Why is there an abject lack of services beyond the North Islands two main cities, even as demand for passenger transport continues to grow? This book seeks to answer these questions. In this fascinating study, Andre Brett argues that the trend away from passenger rail might appear inevitable and irreversible but it was not. Things could have beenand still could bevery different. We need to understand the challenges that brought passenger rail to the brink of extinction in order to create policy for future transport that is efficient and sustainable.
