Hi! I'm a moderator. So far I'm not too smug about it, but they say that power corrupts everyone eventually. Let's see how long I can hold out.

Sounds like the numbers held up pretty well. I wonder how close KiwiRail are to being able to run it 7 days a week?
Stay on topic, don't troll, if pain persists please see the site admin.

Does anyone know what happened to those guys who wanted to bring out a train from China to run a luxury service?

They wanted an exclusive 50 year monopoly on NIMT passenger services.
I should still listen to Doloras.

Doesn't seem to have been any movement on that since about a year ago:
Manning Group eyes Overlander
New Auckland to Wellington rail service floated
$6.5m plan for faster Overlander
