No mention of what they’re protesting but hopefully this isn’t some sort of attempt to repeat the literal shit-show from last year.
Edit: apparently it’s people gluing themselves to roads to promote trains. https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/national/traffic-disruption-warning-by-police-ahead-of-restore-passenger-rail-protest/
The plan was to replace them with battery electric buses, with the diesels being a stop-gap measure.
To nobody’s surprise, the new buses took a lot longer to arrive than expected, but they are mostly there.
Ah nice. It’s been a while I’ve been in Welly, so I wasn’t sure what the current status is.
