I just had to reply to letter ‘Time for a train?' (The Weekend Sun, June 18, page 30) - the best and most logical letter I have read for ages. I do the trip to Katikati, see all the road works going on there then look at all the train tracks all ready for a train I think ‘why not put a train on to relieve all this congestion on the road and save all the road works?'.

Also, train tracks all over Tauranga could be used to bring people into the city for work etc. Having lived in Wellington for many years, I was always impressed with the train service for passengers to work etc. Why is it easy for the council to build road over-bridges than to use existing train tracks?
