A new inquiry has recently been opened by the Transport and Infrastructure Committee, asking for submissions on how to improve inter-regional rail in Aotearoa. 

The committee is particularly trying to understand how best to implement sustainable practices, and how to revitalise trains between big cities.

This comes after months of campaigning by Save our Trains, an organisation set up after minter-regional rail was minimised and plans to shift the trains to tourist transporters.

To understand what the new inquiry means, Liam spoke to Paul Callister from Save our Trains.
