Hmmmmmm

Yesterday a few of us saw this Tweet from Mayor Len Brown:

NZ Herald endorses Rail to the Airport. "The airport's distance from the city cries out for a rail connection."… http://t.co/eJzNYekc2H

Effectively I Tweeted right back to the Mayor that what he Tweeted was rather rich by his own doing. In other words the Mayor once had the Airport Rail (from Onehunga) as Priority Two right behind the City Rail Link as Priority One (Airport Rail needs the CRL first to stop congestion between Newmarket and Britomart) but is now Priority NOTHING with the East West road Link now Priority Two.

Errr bit rich from the @mayorlenbrown . Yes the Herald endorses Airport Rail but the mayor bumped it from 2nd to who knows where down

@mayorlenbrown the list in favour over an over engineered road solution.

Transport Blog did a piece on the Airport Rail falling to the wayside here: What Is Happening With Airport Rail?

So the Mayor gets caught short in a case of all words and no action…
