We are a citizen-led campaign grounded in communities across Aotearoa. We started as an informal group campaigning for the return of the Northern Explorer and Coastal Pacific trains in 2022. We were successful in in that fight, but the campaign unlocked enthusiasm for reconnecting NZ by rail, especially in towns, cities, and regions neglected by policy makers. We are focused on three key areas:
- Campaigning to preserve what we have
- Producing insight
- Envisioning for a better future
