Should Kiwi-Rail's proposed changes go ahead in late June 2012, for the sake of saving 90 minutes off NZ's iconic 12 hour leisurely Train experience, the following Stops will be getting the Chop! Middlemore, Papakura, Pukekohe, Otorohanga, Te Kuiti, Taumarunui, Taihape, Marton, Feilding, Levin, Paraparaumu, and Porirua! NZ needs more transport connections - not less! If these stops do go, they'll be gone for good. We plead for your support to get this proposal reversed. Please help us keep these small towns on the map by keeping their train stops. Please sign the petition BEFORE 21 May to RETAIN ALL STOPS ON THE OVERLANDER. Thanks for your support.

The momentum is building because people across the line refuse to let these towns be erased from the rail map. Post the link to your Facebook feed right now and send a direct email to your local representative demanding they protect these stops.

Total madness. If they pull these stops they might as well just shut the whole line down. Disgraceful.

I grew up in Te Kuiti and this is just another way to isolate the regions. Keep the stops!

90 mins is nothing. Dont ruin the service for thousands of people just to save a tiny bit of time.

Ridiculous to cut these stops. People rely on this train to get home to their families. Stop trying to make everything faster and actually help the people who live in these towns.
