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/

I wish Wellington council had proceeded with LGWM after the first consultations, they had overwhelming support for light rail, and the extra tunnels. And it would be well under construction by now.

That's not what these guys are about though, they want intercity passenger services restored, IE heavy rail.
