Description: The cartoon shows a train running backwards downhill from Auckland to Hamilton. Text reads 'Estimated cost escalation' and words on the train read 'Planned commuter service'. The driver says 'We could be going backwards'. Refers to the derailing of plans to trial a commuter train service between Hamilton and Auckland after the estimated cost escalated to more than $1 million annually for three years. The Hamilton City Council's transport committee yesterday admitted defeat over plans to trial the commuter service after the latest KiwiRail proposal revealed the cost would be more than double the $450,000 figure it earlier indicated. The council was left as the main funder of the service after the NZ Transport Agency and Environment Waikato refused to chip in. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
