1243385 2011-11-14 01:57:00 If Auckland want an inner-city rail loop, let them pay for it. Your so-called 'Holiday Highway' is actually SH1, and the main road into and out of Northland. This seriously needs upgrading well before Len Brown's train set. The only reason Labour christened it HH is because they have no seats up here, and nor are they likely to get any. It is just another indication of their derogatory naming of things, stemming from their politics of envy. The time will come when this road will be 4-laned to Whangarei and in future years to the Bay of Islands. Richard (739)

Len's train set is a waste of money.

1243387 2011-11-14 02:12:00 Just another set of smoke and false promises from a group of people who know that they can promise the world but never be in a position to implement or pay for any of them. Individually probably nice people but as a group with intentions of ruling us..... poof..... Scouse (83)

Why spend over $1 billion on a motorway when the same problem can be fixed for $300 million? That money could be better used elsewhere, such as, oh I don't know, converting Britomart into a through station and eliminate the Western Line's dogleg via Newmarket.

I've travelled on that road fairly recently and it doesn't need to be a motorway IMO. The other thing is National are still using disproved methods from the 1950s to calculate benefits while the council brought in international experts. Although funny that negative benefits still didn't stop them going on with the holiday highway :rolleyes:

And Auckland will be paying for half of it...

Have you travelled on that stretch of road when it's actually under pressure, Alex? Like long weekends and Xmas breaks? Lots of very unnecessary accidents and deaths on that road for years. Much like SH27 from Pokeno through to Maramarua (which is still a balls-up of a fix). Oh - and I think that highway was built/fixed when Fool Goof was licking Helen's jackboots too....

A trainset wouldn't have fixed that stretch of road either...

Yes. Which is why it deserves the holiday highway name.
