Jim Bolger to chair new rail company
"Full details, including the structure of the company, its name and even the new paint job for the trains, will be announced at the official hand over from Toll to the government in Wellington on Tuesday. ONE News will bring you the story.."
I see it now - the launch of the new train company is going to be a massive public relations effort; photo ops, news paper spreads, the works. It's actually just the positive news that Labour needs. The optimistic vision Labour will seek to convey and the fact they've appointed a former National Party prime minister will go someway to drowning out the criticism Because after all everyone wants rail to be a success. But the criticism is very valid. I would probably only use a train perhaps once a year - if that!.
I don't see how the train company won't just become a black whole for money.
Oh my pick for the name will be something like KiwiRail.
