only an hour up the expressway from Wellington.
Or a simple trip to the end of the Kapiti line … The station is just opposite Mahara Place…

Why is Metlink/NZ Rail installing icy cold, perforated seats (!) at its stations? I would like to see the return of backed wooden benches for the comfort of travellers. The dark shelter at Crofton Downs has also been furnished (!) with icy cold metal seats. Once it was an open wooden shelter that caught the sun…now it’s freezing cold inside and ironically warmer outside. Another waste of our money like the rusty metal seats on Point Jerningham which are set to alienate those wishing for repose. Bring back wooden benches and shelters, please.
